snip for the lazy troll and nymshifter

Just as a matter of interest and digressing a little does anyone know
how they propose to dispose of all these solar panels from warms and
roof tops at end of life in about 25 years?

Yes, by recycling, easy given they are mostly glass and metal.

And which metals would they be?
And why
25 years?
Approximate life cycle.
Just because they might not be giving 100% of their initial
capacity there would be no reason to dispose of them if they were
still outputting something?

I also wonder how many CFL
bulbs are now ending up in land fill.

Oh dear, the poor burke / Spuke troll doesn't even know what CFL
stands for ...

'Compact fluorescent lamp / bulb' ... of did you mean CFBs but I guess
more than there might be in landfill if 'people' like you don't
dispose of them properly (our local recycling centre has a place for
them and plain tubes).


Wiki CFL
A compact fluorescent lamp (CFL), also called compact fluorescent light

Not as smart as you think.
And why focus on CFL's and not smoke detectors and not anything
powered by nicad or NiMh cells?

10 year life expectancy Much less of a problem, but a problem just the
same. How many people will simply chuck them in the waste bun esp those
without a car to go to the recycling centre.


And mercury has an infinite half life, so arguably far worse than any
radioisotope as, unlike low level radiation, mercury does stay in the
body and build up and cause madness....hello T i m? Been eating the
CFLs again?


perhaps he's a hatter! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mad_as_a_hatter

Read 'Hatters castle' for a truly dark account of mercury poison,
religious mania and Scottishness.
