many interesting responses which I'll read in depth better later. My comment wasn't against solar panels and batteries and in favour of oil etc. as some assumed. Just interested, because recycling seems a pretty big deal to become really sustainable in all economic matters. In my mind, which might be wrong about many things, until we get a rate of recycling >= that of waste there's a problem, maybe showing up later than today, but eventually it will surface again. Repeating myself, this is my mind model and of course subject to error.
