While Canada lags behind in solar adoption, many places including Germany, China, Japan and even the United States are moving quickly.

In fact, on certain days, some places are generating so much energy, the price to purchase it is dropping below zero, prompting concerns about storage capacity for the abundant power source.

i agree. as long as industry makes money the train keeps moving. But Toyota doesn’t bet on EVs. Sparks my interest.

Regarding concens. i wonder when the “green train” wakes up to the mounting recycling problem of

  • lithium EV batteries,
  • windturbine blades
  • solar panels

All of those things are recyclable today with wind turbines being the hardest and batteries being the easiest. But the quantity of materials that needs recycling is still low so there are only a handful of companies doing it.
