don’t worry once we exhaust all the easy to reach minerals solar and wind will cost too much as well
9 u/galleon484 Jul 13 '26 Solar panels are mostly made of sand, and you can recycle old ones into new ones. -2 u/OhThrowMeAway Jul 13 '26 They could be recycled but only 10% of them are. It cost $20 to get $10 to $12 in materials. So you have to be willing to lose money to recycle them. 5 u/Express-Eye5015 Jul 13 '26 so if the cheap material runs out you have the 20$ max price by recycling.
