It comes down to a choice BFL13. Yes the title is a trick. I'm mean. So many people think of solar panels, mother nature with a, er, ah, grin, and "All Is Right With The World". The principle direction of wind over China carries all of it's modern miracles right over the Pacific Ocean where it goes into the Pacific Ocean. I'll give you a nickel if you can tell me where ocean current are going to carry "The Green Making Miracle Of China"
"Got Mercury?"
Many folk have been hoodwinked into thinking solar panels are totally "green". They are far from "green", a lot of very toxic chemicals, gasses and other heavy substances are used in the process of making these panels.
It is one of the many reasons panels are expensive, it costs money to buy, safely store, handle, use, then dispose of toxic byproducts.
Another side effect of panel manufacturing is the ENERGY consumed in the manufacturing process, it takes a lot of energy to make them..
They are far from "green" no matter where they are manufactured...
