Not too much discussion about this in the media, it runs counter to the political spin.

Who knew that solar panels are an environmental disaster?

Never trust an environmentalist, unless you want just one side of the story.

These three potent greenhouse gases, used by solar cell fabricators, make carbon dioxide (CO2) seem harmless.

Carbon Dioxide IS harmless (at least at any foreseeable levels that might occur in our atmosphere).

Zehner advocates shifting to energy taxes

WTF? MORE TAXES? Aren't they afraid that the beloved "poor" will be affected?

I have a friend that has a degree in nuclear science. He was telling me about this just a few days ago. I have to admit I was surprised by what he said.

Nitrogen trifluoride is 17,000 times more virulent than CO2, and SF6, the most treacherous greenhouse gas, is over 23,000 times more threatening.

I'm guessing that, to make matters worse, plants are unable to metabolize NF3 and SF6 and thus remove them from the atmosphere, as they eagerly do with CO2.

Yep, just checked Wikipedia: Toxic!

Solar Cells are a modern technology (as opposed to trains and windmills) and have a place in energy generation, especially should batteries ever improve significantly (order of magnitude).

Climate change can be sucesfully disputed by:
1: Data. Folks, things just aren’t getting warmer over the past 15 years or so. Period. And earlier temp claims by the climate “Scientists” wouldn’t get a D in any good analysis class.
2: Modeling. None (that’s zero, nada) of the current models can produce what we’ve got now from what we had years ago without unbelievable Obama’ing (shorthand for complete mathematical mast*rbation) of the model’s parameters. But, once they get past to morph to present, none will do accurately predict the future.
3. Physics: Heat IS completely absorbed by CO2 way, way before it travels through the atmosphere. It was that way 500 years ago. It’s that way now. really - an increase in CO2 from 3 one hundredths of one percent to a bit more than that will really make a diff? The incompetency displayed by climate researchers to trick physics into assuming more warming could only be believed by journalists and political science majors. There’s a reason these clowns didn’t go into science. Kerry is a prime example.
4. The sun’s output. Yup, it’s going down. And yup, in the vast spectra of things that control our temp, the sun is way, way at the top. CO2 is down there lower than the Kerry/Gore’s IQ.
5. Consensus? Bull Obama. Ain’t no stinkin’ consensus - at least among real physicists.
6. And, finally, if a liberal says it...really, do you even think of believing it? After all, they believe in liberalism - which is just about as flat earth as it can get.

which are now measurably accumulating within the earth’s atmosphere

Ooooo, measurably. When we can measure chemicals in the parts per trillion range, "measurable" tells you nothing.

Your local bureaucrats, government teachers and retired government NIMBYs, heavily invested in local electric and gas companies, are depending on you to avoid installing your own personal power plants and becoming self-sufficient. They need more time and money to dominate both political parties in politics and control you and your property.

A little solar cell cleanup tip. Spotted Owl feathers dipped into alcohol removes dirt without leaving streaks.

. . .new environmental book, Green Illusions (June 2012, University of Nebraska Press), written by University of California – Berkeley visiting scholar Ozzie Zehner.

Hmmm, methinks his visit just got cancelled.

Doesn’t matter they receive government subsidies and return them in the form of contributions to the DNC.

Can anyone say money laundering?

Feeaaalings, nothing more than FEEEAAALINGS!!!

Environmentalists would burn every living thing to the ground as long as they felt they were helping the environment.
