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? |

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. https://www.world-nuclear.org/upload..._lifecycle.pdf Last edited by GrumpyOldMan; 10-13-2021 at 08:20 PM. |

No, it's more of a "look before you leap" analogy...

We have been looking for decades.
Seriously, and it has been an uphill push the entire time. If I were paranoid, I would say the fossil fuel industry has a vested interest in disparaging alternate energy sources. Sort of like cigarette commercials saying smoking their brand is good for your cough. |

So what does your false dissertation of bad business decisions of manufacturers have to do with a home owner installing solar panels and saving money and electricity. You have the glass is half empty approach. One more point... not all power plants use coal.

Solar
Number 10 GI
What you are saying does make sense. I am wondering if you found any studies with data to confirm that theory? Another theory in the same vein is the recycling frenzy. It may cost more energy to recycle then we are saving. I am, however, a proponent of solar energy production as we certainly will be able to improve and create a more efficient process of building and utilizing solar panels. |

True, but no one wants anyone to build nuclear plants, either...

I am sorry, I missed where the conversation switched to climate change denial?
