How much pollution and oil does it take to manufacture solar panels?Nice try at a spin, but my post was in regards to is solar or farming more detrimental to the environment. Nothing to do with food production, just pollution.
How much diesel fuel is consumed and air pollution do huge ocean-going freighters make shipping them 5,000 miles across the ocean from China to the US?
If you think solar panels are some kind of free lunch or panacea, you have your head DEEP in the sand. It takes billions of gallons of OIL to make the plastics and billions more gallons of OIL to ship them here.
So would you rather use billions of gallons of oil to import chinese solar panels? Or extract trapped gas from our own country, using FAR less oil and burn it cleantly as possible HERE in the US?
