Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, shares her thoughts on Biden's visit to Saudi Arabia amid the global energy crisis.The Los Angeles Times published a report Thursday detailing the"environmental danger" of expired solar panels on the environment.
"Beginning in 2006, the state, focused on how to incentivize people to take up solar power, showered subsidies on homeowners who installed photovoltaic panels but had no comprehensive plan to dispose of them. Now, panels purchased under those programs are nearing the end of their 25-year lifecycle," Kisela reported.Workers walk past solar panels at the Gujarat Solar Park at Charanka in Patan district, about 155 miles from Ahmadabad, India, on Saturday, April 14, 2012.
"Now, both regulators and panel manufacturers are realizing that they don’t have the capacity to handle what comes next," she continued. But there are difficulties surrounding disposal of solar panels:"Recycling solar panels isn’t a simple process. Highly specialized equipment and workers are needed to separate the aluminum frame and junction box from the panel without shattering it into glass shards."
