Hi,
I believe I specified "from the cradle to the grave". That obviously includes mining, and transporting the raw materials.
Solar can be used at the local level so there are fewer power lines not more.
My "agenda", if I have one, is to lower green house gas emissions. Happily, solar may help to do that while keeping money in my pocket.Lynnmor wrote:
I was talking about the mining to produce the materials used in solar panels, wind turbines and the considerable power lines required. This is usually not considered by those with an agenda.
And manufacturing solar panels has definitely less emissions than building a new power plant with equivalent generating capacities.
Then emission stops after solar panels are installed.
