There was no bad decision made by Tennessee, Hemlock Semiconductor made the mistake. Hemlock lost their incentives when they failed to live up to their contract with the state.
I'm not trying to justifying the continued use of fossil fuels, I want to know the net gain if any from solar panels. How much energy will a solar panel generate vs the amount of energy required to produce the panels. And how much energy will be required to recycle the worn out panels. Why don't we hear about that? It would be a great selling point to show there actually is a net gain. Is there a real gain?
