that... is not even close to comparable. A hurricane smashes a bunch of your local panels, you go and pick them up, and if they're too damaged throw them in landfill. Fukushima is going to cost between $470 billion and $660 billion to clean up. A solar "cleanup" would not even be a 10000th of that cost. Why even mention this?

Solar panels are glasses painted with heavy metal stained glasses, so you can't leave the panels around, they have to be recovered. All moot points if they last indefinitely where you are, serious points if they don't.
