Hmm. How odd. I see no replacements happening in any of the solar
installations in my area. Not many wind turbines here, but the ones I
saw along Lake Erie last week seemed to be churning away as usual.

    Frank, stop acting like a single point in time is proof of anything. The 120 foot windmills require REGULAR replacement of the blades. They are NOT recyclable and are normally simply buried.  And the attached generators burn out often because the ends of the blades are traveling just under the speed of sound and shaking everything to pieces.
 Solar farms leave the dead cells in place until they begin to show steep drops in power output. What's more solar farms are OFTEN left in place and simply deserted. The Mojave Desert here is rife with them.

I'm struck by the complete lack of numbers in that post, in addition to the complete lack of citations.
As usual for Tom, of course. We're supposed to believe in the voices in Tom's head as the ultimate source of truth.
