This is being propped up by tax dollars, which ends up going to China, because that's where all this stuff is made. And nobody figures out that the life of a solar cell is at most 25 years at which time they have to be scrapped. And since neither windmills nor solar cells work at night, they spend money on lithium batteries, which have a lifespan of 10-15 year at which time they have to be scrapped. Advocates will tell you they are recycled. But they can't actually tell you who exactly is recycling them. The reality is if they were serious about the planet, they'd push nuclear because despite higher start-up costs, the cost per megawatt over the lifetime of a nuclear plant (roughly 80 years) is cheaper than solar or wind. Turn off the subsidies for wind and solar and watch what actually happens in that market.
