Show me the rare earth tree for solar panels, or the carbon fiber tree for windmills.

There is zero percent rare earth in solar panels.

You get that a “carbon fibre tree” is literally just a tree right?

(also, wind turbines tend to be made out of much cheaper glass fibre. Admittedly this does not grow on trees, but unless you’re willing to ban windows and home insulation too it doesn’t make that much sense to complain about it.)

Rayon’s a different material, not carbon fibre.

At least these material are theoretical recycleable while uranium is not (once an atom is split you don’t put it together again)
