The thrust was correct according to your source, or am I misreading it? Nuclear median 12, Solar 48 (4x nuclear), gas 490 (10x solar), coal 810 (20x solar).

Yes, it was, however this dates back 2014 and solar recycling is progressing, and becomes more and more legally mandatory in industrialized nations.

Solar panels: operators now reach ~80% recycling (glass, metal, silicon, plastic).

Wind turbines recycling is also quickly progressing.

Many old industrial setups are now closed, and there are not many new projects.
