Exactly the majority of these "Green" things were sold have a limited lifespan and just end up being landfill same as any other commodity, solar panels 20-25 years,lithium batteries 2-3years, electric motor used in cars 15-20 years pushing us to buy more and more we need to overhaul our way of thinking.
If a wind turbine, solar panel or tidal system needs a complete overhaul within so many years is it really sustainable energy, although I'm unsure of the wearable parts and how often they need changing things like the hoover dam seem sustainable. Great hunks of concrete that produce energy at the cost of changing the surrounding eco system.
We should at least look at making these modern sustainable options more maintenance friendly.
