Have you bothered to research the emissions and pollution impacts per kwh for solar vs other solutions? It's been heavily studied. You could have found your answers within the time it took you to write your comment.

Just do a Google search.

Solar and other renewable sources are 5x to 20x less impactful throughout the entire manufacturing, production, shipping chain than non-renewable sources.

I was being sarcastic. I already know the answer. But no one wants to hear it. So I made it a question. Lol and I like typing 🤪

Yes but those carbon emissions do not include everything that goes into the solar panels from beginning to running on a roof. I consider it intermediate energy. I'm not trying to change anybody's mind I'm just saying in my opinion it's worse than what we have now and we definitely need to get away from fossil fuels. I'm leaning towards hydrogen and nuclear. Both are dangerous but very powerful and very renewable with very little carbon emissions to make build and set up.
