For those that don't like to read articles, I included a summary chart shopping the FULL LIFECYCLE emissions of various energy sources, please note that Solar lifecycle emissions is about 1/2 to 1/10 that of fossil fuel.

I don't see correlation between green house gasses and energy required to produce solar panels. How much energy do they generate over the amount of energy expended to create them. If I make a product that costs me $10 to build and I can only sell it for $10 there is no gain.
