nothing is perfect. we need imperfect things that don't emit co2. windmills have many detractors but at the moment represent mostly co2-free power if we're willing to take it. and recycling industries for solar and wind are coming, they'll never be perfect either, but when the waste stream becomes lucrative enough they'll find a way.

but when the waste stream becomes lucrative enough they'll find a way.

The problem with capitalism in a nutshell.

Because mercantilist wind turbine blades recycle themselves? Or did you mean to imply that communist wind turbines recycle themselves?

I mean to say that when financial incentive is the only incentive then a lot of things that would make this a better world end up on the scrap heap.

Hey keeps me employed. You people keep finding new types of waste and I keep finding ways to deal with it.

Problem is it's so freaken labor intensive right now. You could tool your way around it but you need serious volume of standardized units. Plus you need people willing to take huge risks which is difficult to justify given that the recycling industry as a whole is a license to print money. Why risk an explosion when you can turn out yet industry specific process? Also you know the tradeoffs. Basically the less chance of an ignition the less material recoved.

So you go the fully automated route or a low income workforce, which to be fair to the Western world, they are working really hard to produce.
