You said, "You do realize that in the 21st century, we don't put exotic metals in the landfill, right?" and LDC3 is challenging that assertion by pointing out that even if all of the laws prohibit exotic metals from being put in a landfill, that from a practical standpoint there is little to actually prevent it and plenty of avenues for it to end up there, including residential garbage collection.Actually, I mentioned NOT putting things in the landfill. That means "not trash."
That's baloney. Nobody challenged whether or not there are avenues for it to end up in a landfill. He asked about 'trash', which was clearly not what I referred to in my post. And I never said we don't need to consider what goes in the landfill. As we are discussing how to use solar energy in a proper and sustainable way, then what I wrote makes perfect sense to anyone with basic reading skills.You said, "You do realize that in the 21st century, we don't put exotic metals in the landfill, right?" and LDC3 is challenging that assertion by pointing out that even if all of the laws prohibit exotic metals from being put in a landfill, that from a practical standpoint there is little to actually prevent it and plenty of avenues for it to end up there, including residential garbage collection.
It's like saying that because the law prohibits the disposal of CFLs in the trash that we don't need to consider the possibility of CFLs ending up in the landfill.
You stated categorically that exotic metals are not put in landfills. It is that assertion that is baloney. If you want to only consider a fantasy world -- one in which merely talking about a topic assumes that everyone plays by the rules you want them to play by --then you should so state. If you are trying to talk about the real world but want to insist that the proper and correct methods of deploying the technology will be used, then you are right, that discussion is silly and useless.That's baloney.

You might argue we aren't talking what's proper or sustainable, if so, there would be no need to discuss the topic at all. In other words, the very topic insinuates proper an correct methods of deploying the technology. Otherwise, it's stilly and useless.
Really, I don't need you to interpret my discussions for me, not now, not in the future.
Go on pretending that every comment only has meaning in a strict literal sense, and the context, eg the post to which I was responding, has no meaning.You stated categorically that exotic metals are not put in landfills. It is that assertion that is baloney.
Sorry you can't keep up. But considering you can't, you're not qualified to lecture me on what my posts means.If you want to only consider a fantasy world -- one in which merely talking about a topic assumes that everyone plays by the rules you want them to play by --then you should so state.
Proper and correct refers to my post, not what I insist on. But if you want to discuss improper and incorrect methods, go right ahead. Just leave me out of it.If you are trying to talk about the real world but want to insist that the proper and correct methods of deploying the technology will be used, then you are right, that discussion is silly and useless.
Well I don't need you help to interpret what is being said. Nothing to get over.And too bad. We all have to interpret what is said by others. You have certainly chosen to insert yourself into many discussions I have been involved in, so get over yourself.
