Solar panels are celebrated as a clean energy solution — but what if there’s a hidden cost? In this episode, I sit down with Gary Ehlenberger, a retired staff scientist and semiconductor expert, to expose the little-known toxic side of solar panel manufacturing, including the chemicals that made him sick and the industry’s unresolved recycling problem.
We also explore:
The environmental challenges behind solar technology
Recycling dilemmas and what happens when panels reach end-of-life
Unconventional physics and cutting-edge math that could reshape energy innovation
Solutions for making solar truly sustainable
This thought-provoking conversation sheds light on both the promise and pitfalls of green energy — and why innovation is still needed to make it work for the future.
