China has an oversupply issue in housing construction in general. it is... as if the problem is not merely building too few houses (as some us centric yimby people believe) but rather an unjust system of resource distribution?

they are still optimizing. it's just their interest diverges ever more from the rest of us.
this is the real misalignment problem: not between human and AI, but between ordinary people and big tech.

if I recall correctly, in the EEG renewables lose their fixed feed-in premium in case the negative price duration exceeds a certain amount of time.
animal agriculture industry: don't worry, once project 2025 succeeded, USDA will tell Americans to eat red meat every meal!
about a decade ago renewables reached grid parity with conventional sources in most of the world and experience exponential growth so far. I hope the same happen for plant based products.
and you don't seem to understand...
I have a LED lightbulb that starts to flicker. Is there anyway to fix it, or any parts of it that could be useful for other uses(i.e. diodes for use in electrical circuits)?
Correction: After checking the product serial number carefully it is a fluorescent lightbulb as many pointed out. Thanks for the correction and advice.
(PS I am renting a house now so the type of lightbulb is of my landlord's choice. Obviously were I to choose I would rather have a LED lightbulb)
Original comment paper: Unfounded concerns about photovoltaic module toxicity and waste are slowing decarbonization
I read the paper. Behind paywall unfortunately, but the Cleantechnica article quote the paper well enough.
TLDR:
- Material waste from solar very small compared with other activities.
- Most common PVs contain almost none harmful materials. Trace amounts of lead in crystalline silicon modules and the cadmium in CdTe modules are the only potential harm IEA found. But Pb is being phased out, and CdTe compound is quite stable in CdTe modules. Both cadmium and tellurium are recycled into new modules.
- Module lifetime and reusability is increasing.
Treating decommissioned PV modules as a commodity and opportunity for material recovery, and not as hazardous waste would be environmentally and economically beneficial.
