Externalities solar panels.

Total land area requirements varies depending on the technology the topography of the site and the intensity. Land use depending on their location larger utility scale solar facilities can raise concerns about land degradation and habitat loss. What to do with millions of square feet of worn out solar panels. The sun provides a tremendous resource for generating clean and sustainable electricity without toxic pollution or global warming emissions.

This video discusses some of the negative externalities related to solar panel production and maintenance which supporters of green energy are virtually unaware of. The potential environmental impacts associated with solar power land use and habitat loss water use and the use of hazardous materials in manufacturing can vary greatly depending on the technology which includes two broad categories. The manufacturing process is irrelevant without context of the lifetime generated energy as well as how other fuel sources stack up. Externalities on the roof.
