One such issue is the generation of new waste streams associated with renewable energy. The focus has been on discarded or superseded solar panels, although wind turbine blades have also received attention. Planning now for future renewable energy waste is important. Therefore, a comparison using the possible renewable energy waste stream decades hence is appropriate and conservative. The risks of poorly managed waste for renewable energy are real and demand proper planning and regulation.
