The argument (I say this as a midwesterner who has lots of relatives and such who are regurgitating the prepublication lines) always comes back to “the tech isn’t there yet” “you can’t recycle panels or turbine blades” “panels and turbine blades don’t last worth a damn”.

Whether or not any of that is true idk so how can I argue? My plate is pretty full on reading material.

So find the arguments they’re using and go from there.

“the tech isn’t there yet”

tell them to get a solar quote for their home and compare it to their power bill. Very likely the monthly solar payments will be lower even with financing.

“you can’t recycle panels or turbine blades”

firstly, that's not true, we are constantly improving our ability to recycle. Anyway, you sure as hell can't recycle coal or natural gas so that's a double standard.

“panels and turbine blades don’t last worth a damn”

they last a hell of a lot longer than fossil fuels do.
