And they seem to not be able to re use batteries, or use continuous solar power energy in cars with lithium battery pack as back up.... What happened to the turbine energy method, couldn't the movement of a wheel on a car generate electricity... Idk not a engineering.

I am not "anti-solar," or anything like that. It is just all this pretending that there is no environmental impact that bugs me. The pollution from the production of "Rare Earth Metals," needed for solar panel production, destroyed a whole city in China. The largest known Lithium deposit may have been discovered in Southern Oregon. Getting it out of the ground and to battery makers will pollute a broad swath of land. We don't have alternative sources this large. Building this mine will bring down long term costs. Just be honest about the impact of alternative energy.

Yes, presently solar panels are disposed of either in landfills or by dumping them in other countries.
