Present economic system is so deceptive that it swiftly encapsulates all destruction into fancy wrappers that you will never realize the havoc created by your habits.
All the things in our world have an industrial history. Behind the computer, the T-shirt, the vacuum cleaner is an industrial infrastructure fired by energy (fossil fuels mainly). Each component of our car or refrigerator has an industrial history. Mainly unseen and out of mind, this global industrial infrastructure touches every aspect of our lives. It pervades our daily living from the articles it produces, to its effect on the economy and employment, as well as its effects on the environment.

SOLAR DEVICES INDUSTRIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

Solar energy collecting devices have been challenged from several points of view. The Energy Return on Energy Invested has been noted in extensive research as being low. The dependence on fossil fuel has been noted. Solar enthusiasts act as if the industry stands apart from the fossil fuel supply system. It is not separate from the present undulating supply plateau nor the scraping of the bottom of the fossil fuel barrel. We will never truly run out of fossil fuels, but the monetary cost and the environmental assaults defined by geology, geography as well as politics will certainly constrain our energy future.
My position has been that the underwriting by the global industrial infrastructure is a necessary consideration. All the things in our world have an industrial history. Behind the computer, the T-shirt, the vacuum cleaner is an industrial infrastructure fired by energy (fossil fuels mainly). Each component of our car or refrigerator has an industrial history. Mainly unseen and out of mind, this global industrial infrastructure touches every aspect of our lives. It pervades our daily living from the articles it produces, to its effect on the economy and employment, as well as its effects on the environment.
Solar energy collecting devices also have an industrial history. It is important to understand the industrial infrastructure and the environmental results for the components of the solar energy collecting devices so we don’t designate them with false labels such as green, renewable or sustainable.

And if suggest non-industrial, sustainable options : You are mocked and ignored!
