Recover the silver from the panels and bury them. Landfills are great. They keep our garbage out of the ocean. We build parks on top of them and most people don’t even know they’re there. They’re certainly not struggling to find space for a landfill in Australia.

I really agree with this. Oil exists in the ground, if we're sensible and pick the correct sites we have a lot of big holes in Australia that could find a second life being remote landfill that is sensibly concentrated.

It seems terrible but if we manage it well, and that's the real risk, we can probably end up solving a few other problems this way.
