Similar sentiments have been showing up in many venues lately. I suspect this is an oil company campaign aimed at damaging renewables. We saw a similar campaign about how “bad” wind turbine blades are for birds, and also that disposing the blades was such a “big” problem.

Every energy source has consequences. We need to pick the ones that are less bad. Having a pile of waste in landfills seems infinitely better than roasting the whole planet to the point of it being unlivable by humans.
