The panels need to be replaced every 10 decades.

Children mining toxic raw materials in Africa, for Chinese companies who manufacture the vast majority of this Green technology and it parts, using power generated by growing number of coal power plants, to sell the Solar Panels to Western countries, who I crease the price of fossil fuels to subsidise 'renewable' power, which they improperly dispose of after 10-20 years, causing those same toxic materials to leach into landfills, soil and groundwater.
Now they're making them even cheaper? Or just more subsidising/taxing further?

Modern ones are, there's a large issue with early adopters having to replace their panels, with the been dumped on landfills. The newer 10+ warranties will last longer, but those are the expensive US of A models and not cheaper imports.
