Needs a Title
With a rise in global interest in sustainable energy in recent times, solar power has become an achievable way of addressing climate change. The environmental impact of solar panels that are wasted, however, is a dark side that often slips unnoticed behind the surface of its eco-friendly reputation. As discussed in “The Dark Side of Solar Power” by Atalay Atasu, Serasu Duran, and Luk N. Van Wassenhove, the disposal of used solar panels is a major issue because a large number of them wind up in landfills.
Solar panels have a bright future ahead of them, as stated in “The Future of Solar is Bright”. Solar PV (photovoltaic) panels are becoming more and more popular, which implies a bright future in renewable energy. But the love for solar energy needs to be balanced with an objective view of its implications for the future.
The number of solar panels that need to be got rid of grows along with the number of solar panel setups. According to “The Dark Side of Solar Power,” a large percentage of these panels wind up in landfills, adding to environmental pollution, due to a lack of efficient recycling infrastructure. The correlation between the increasing number of solar panels and the degradation of the environment serves as a moving symbol of the accidental effects of fast advances in technology.
There is, however, reason for think in spite these fears. Despite the environmental challenges, a study by researchers reported in “Researchers find benefits of solar power outweigh costs” shows that the advantages of solar photovoltaics outweigh their drawbacks. The decrease in PV costs over a seven-year period was greater than the decline in value. By 2017, the advantages of solar PV systems for the market, health, and climate surpassed their expenses.
This result highlights an important cause-and-effect relationship: while increasing use of solar power has major benefits, it also brings with it major difficulties for the environment. It is essential to keep spending on solar power, but for it to minimize its impact on the environment, environmentally friendly techniques must also be utilized.
In summary, the plot of solar energy is one of principle, in which environmental issues and potential for renewable energy live together. Understanding and resolving the root cause of causal dynamics will help us move toward a time when clean energy is both high and sustainable.

You forgot to categorize, Snowman.
This will get lost, and I won’t find it if I look for Causal Rewrites.

CAU-SAL, NOT CAS-UAL Rewrites.

Good job. Now the title is right. And the post is in the DefCat Rewrite category. But it still isn’t in the Snowman category. But it is (and shouldn’t be) in the “You Forgot to Categorize” category.

Snowman, please. I have told you many times in several ways that I have trouble believing in the authenticity of your writing. I have a collection now of three reports on your short arguments that all point the same direction. [Image deleted but retained.]
Your drafts all bear the same clear traits. They take “both sides” of any issue, the opposite of what your persuasive argument should do in this class. They bear no indication that they are based on any particular source for their information, again, the opposite of what a research paper should do. And, again, in this case, they contain no citations that would indicate to a reader where the claims made in your essay could be checked against the original.
I will remove the image from this Reply when you acknowledge to me that you’ve seen it. I don’t mean to embarrass you, but I’m very frustrated that your work does not show any sign that you’re responding to feedback.

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out regarding my casual rewrite submission. It’s been nearly two weeks since I uploaded it, but I noticed that my grades haven’t been updated yet. In response, I made sure to attend the regrade session to address this concern. I understand the importance of submitting quality work, so I would like to take this opportunity to rewrite it again, ensuring it meets the standards with no plagiarism tag. Thank you for your understanding and consideration.

You haven’t addressed the concerns I have voiced in feedback and conferences throughout the semester that you work appears to be not original to you. You have been advised repeatedly to make sure your work reflects direct citations of the materials you Reference as sources. To date, your arguments bear no indication that they owe anything to the sources you attach. Of course you may revise, and should, in the way I have beseeched you to revise it repeatedly.

I’ve received your message on word press and have taken note of your concerns regarding my recent submissions. I apologize for any frustration my work may have caused. I understand that there have been consistent issues with authenticity and citation in my writing. I acknowledge that I haven’t effectively responded to previous feedback, and for that, I apologize.I’m committed to rectifying this issue and ensuring that my work reflects the necessary citations and originality. I will redo the casual rewrite section promptly, making sure to incorporate direct citations and properly attribute sources.Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

This seems better, Snowman. Not quite recognizable as a personal voice, but more natural. I wish we could have started here weeks ago. You still seem to be balancing Pros and Cons instead of advocating for a particular point of view and taking on all detractors as a solely persuasive argument would do, but it’s a start.
The argument here is a very simple one, and quite repetitive. Solar power is beneficial, it says, though not exactly why or how. But also, it says, the environmental impact of abandoned panels is significant. That’s it; several times.
These two sentences are particularly confusing:
I have no idea what “the decline in value” could mean. Perhaps you can explain.
