Also, at your leisure, I'd like to talk about the heavy metal poisoning issue that seems to be going on in the soil around homes and farmer's fields having solar panels on them.

Billy, The problem that is concerning is the process in which the tar sands are extracted from the soil and the toxic chemicals that are used to complete this process and what is done with the slurry after the process is complete (to date 30 square miles of Canadian land has been rendered useless). In addition, the use of tar sands oil increases the carbon footprint on the planet, tar sands has 15% more carbon dioxide than standard petroleum. This being noted not only by me but three major U.S. Oil companies that have completely pulled out of Canada and the future processing of tar sands.
Lithium ion batteries - cobalt, copper, nickel and iron - are considered safe by the Federal government for landfills or incinerators. Interestingly enough, lithium ion batteries contain an ionic form of lithium but no lithium metal.
Trust you understand that the poisoning issue only happens after the solar panels are damaged or disposed of in landfills. The only way to properly dispose of solar panels is to incinerate them in a concrete incinerator. My experience was the incineration of nuclear waste at Rocky Flats, CO, so these disposal sites do exist but I am sure that they have not kept up with the need.
I have heavy metal poisoning from years of maintaining special weapons that contained cadmium, chromium, beryllium, lead and of course U235 and U238, I have not had to receive chelation therapy, yet. I am also tech escort trained and have handled nerve agents, blistering agents and tearing agents. Did I mention we used Trichloroethylene (TCE) to clean the weapon systems?
