The production of Solar panels in China (where they still use DIRRTY coal) does not pollute more in their production than steam-powered factories here at home? You've got to be kidding me... you're probably a 9/11 Truther as well... it was our government who flew those planes into the WTC wasn't it? In environmental economics there is such a thing as a supply and demand chain where environmental costs vs. efficacy are considered. Production of Solar in China does not, in any way, account for the environmental costs incurred in oversupplying the world with solar. Every economic expert in this country has repeatedly stated that we stimulate the demand, not the supply. It seems you are arguing for forced solar? Where a property owner MUST use solar by law? It will be decades before such a preposterous proposition would at all even be possible (no matter how many Chinese solar panels penetrate our industry,) and by that time people will figure out even better ways to produce electricity than a pesky 175 watt solar panel multiplied by Kahdrillions panels.
