Solar panels create 300 times more toxic waste per unit of energy than do nuclear power plants.
Tree huggers scratch as wonder now what.
Rule one have a plane before you manufacture something
Rule two what will be the result of it

Facts - solar panels are made out of silicone yes silicon and glass yes glass and third aluminum yes aluminum

there are no hazardous waste components and then whatsoever this article is complete and utter


You know, for having a Master's from the high and mighty Berkeley, you sure have trouble with capitalization and grammar. And the fact that your information is completely wrong, doesn't help your case. Electronics are made of way more then three basic substances, and are an integral part of a solar panel; being able to put the voltage somewhere. Sure, it depends on the type of panel, but there's plenty with all sorts of stuff: cadmium, lead, silver, plastics, boron, phosphorous, silicon nitride (this is why a lot of your panels look blue), ethylene vinyl acetate is the glue that holds 'em together, I'm sure not all frames are pure aluminum, there'll be steel and other alloys.
