You may be seeing red after learning of the fire risks, hazardous waste generation, and impact on local wildlife.
 

Solar energy has been touted as the “greenest” and “safest” renewable energy option that is currently available.

However, after 8 long years of solar energy businesses being promoted by the U.S. government, hard numbers and real work experiences are causing people to reassess just how “green” solar energy is.

To begin with, it appears that solar panels create 300 times more toxic waste per unit of electricity generated than nuclear power plants:

It is very interesting that this information, which has been common knowledge to those of us who have looked deeply into power production, is now being publicized widely. The waste generation from PV panel production has been known since the 70's. BTW....the electronica manufacturing industry has most of the same problems. Neither one are as "clean and green" as those touting them would have you believe.
