    “One thing that is generally overlooked is that solar panels have a limited lifespan.”

    Pardon me while I roll my eyes.

    Everything that does anything useful has a limited lifespan. I know she has to frame the story she is presenting, but the idea that, durr, solar panels were expected to last forever is just a painful reminder how much of her audience don’t have a clue how the world works. (Well, food comes from grocery stores and all that.)
