Don't listen to Old Man Gas. Ditch LNG. Support New Zealand-made energy!
Mike Casey's explanation about solar panel waste and how we need to put it in perspective caught the attention of The Cooldown.
As it said:
Concerns over solar panel waste have long been part of the conversation around renewable energy, but new insight from an energy expert suggests the problem may not be as severe as some believe.
In a clip on Instagram, Mike Casey (@electricorchardist), the CEO of Rewiring Aotearoa, explains the potential for circularity in renewable energy systems.
With the right recycling systems in place, the majority of solar panel materials can be recovered, making the technology far more sustainable than commonly assumed.
"With 98% of solar panel materials recyclable, and electric vehicle materials being 90% recyclable, the future of sustainability is in circularity," Casey argues.
Political Power has gone local! Dr Nick Smith, mayor of Nelson and ex-National Party minister, is an early adopter when it comes to electric machines but, through his efforts with the council and his close involvement with the Ratepayer Assistance Scheme, he's also embracing one of Rewiring's core mantras: once you've electrified your own life, electrify someone else's life, too.
