Is Everything Being Considered? The Other Side of the Solar Panel and Inside the Battery
I own solar and drive an EV. I'd install solar again tomorrow and I'd buy another EV tomorrow.
This essay isn't an argument against either.
It's an attempt to examine the full system:
• mining
• labor
• China
• Congo
• battery supply chains
• disposal
• fossil fuels
• hidden costs
• visible benefits
I tried to approach it from the perspective of someone who supports the transition but still believes every benefit and every cost belong on the same ledger.
