7. But but it's hard to recycle windmills and solar panels and they only last TWENTY YEARS

This is one of the more unpalatable conservative talking points I've heard.

Cars only last half that, and rarely do you hear about that being a problem.

Printers are obsolete after a year or two, but we can just keep making cheap ones and chucking the old ones in landfills.

Televisions used to last 20 years, but now only last 8 or so. Big deal.

No, it's the artificial mountain range of old windmills and solar panels we should be concerned with.
