I’m sure that’s true but the Chinese are buying them in increasing volumes

And assuming that's true one must consider *where* they're getting the electricity.Anyone who's visited China recently (as I have) knows that the air quality there is absolutely disgusting.The clearest day *I've* ever seen there is *far* worse than the worst day I've ever seen in LA,NYC,The Ruhr Valley or London.

And while much of that pollution is surely coming from factories a good percentage of it is coming for the antiquated coal fired power plants that they bring online daily.

All true. However, most of the world’s top photovoltaic companies are Chinese so the Chinese are also the laying in a lot of Photovoltaic power. I think the trend will be toward less pollution in the next 10 years or so.
