Solar panel misinfomation is everywhere and growing stronger. A new report from NREL sets the record straight.
Ignorance can be cured by the application of information. We are all ignorant about many things. We cannot make a cellphone or an automobile because we don’t know how. But if someone shows us what to do, we can learn to do it ourselves. My old Irish grandfather liked to say that if a person can read, he or she can do anything. Today many people are ignorant about how a solar panel is made, how it works, how long it lasts, or what happens to it when it reaches the end of its useful life.
“The impacts of unmitigated climate change are far more dangerous and deadly than any possible risk posed by renewables.” Barnes expressed the hope that the research could offer an “objective source of facts and data” for regulators and communities wanting to make informed, rational decisions around renewable energy investments. “Deploying more solar and wind energy is the most effective and fastest option we have right now to decarbonize,” she added.People who are familiar with the writing of George Lakoff understand the power of framing.
Dan Gearino of ICN says if it were up to him, he would print thousands of copies of the NREL report and distribute them at public meetings where solar panel projects are being discussed. But here in the solarium atglobal headquarters, we disagree.
