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.

I will read that thank you. I do a lot of reading. And a lot of investigation before it I invest in something. And I have read watched and talked to people that are engaged in these actual topics. Everybody has different opinions and sometimes they will not be swayed. So I refuse to go back looking for all of the information I had already been through to post for everyone else today. I am pretty busy and I just thought some people should know that it's not that good for the earth is they think it is. Again everybody has opinions that may or may not be swayed and I'm not trying to sway any of them. But thank you again and I will read that and get back to you

Oh yeah I realize that. Anyone in the world would be crazy not to. And I don't disagree with that at all. In my opinion hydrogen and which sounds bad nuclear power which is what stars are made of is what we need. We don't need something that is going to make it worse faster than the fossil fuels we use now. And that's what that is doing.

Well I hope you don't feel that way about my posts. Because that is not my intentions at all. I agree it will help a lot of people. My only question is how sustainable will it be in the future considering the facts that state the emissions are worse off than just sticking with regular electricity. Unless the solar panels or wind turbines are running off of hydrogen. And refining hydrogen is becoming cheaper also. So that I believe will be the way to go in the long-term future.

So I wonder how much carbon emissions is put out from the heavy equipment used to mine. For the sand and metals to make the solar panels, batteries, and wind turbine. Including the batteries for the wind turbines? Then I wonder how much carbon emissions is put out from hauling the raw materials to the plant that will refine the materials.Then I wonder how much carbon is used to refine the materials. Then how much carbon emissions is released to get them "Solar panels, Batteries, & wind turbines to the distributors. Then I wonder how much carbon emissions is used getting them from the distributors to the homes, or Fields. Then I wonder how much carbon is released with all employees driving their cars to work to mine, refine, build, and install them. Not to mention the heavy equipment they need to use during the installs. I also wonder about the carbon footprint left behind with all of the mining being done. Plus we all already know that when using solar panels you are intermittently using the grid for electricity. But did you know when there's no wind. Those turbine are also connected to the grid to keep them turning in order to create power. It's just pretty wild when you really dig deep. Although I am interested and and looking into solar panels in my yard. But also when they say you can sell your extra power that is not true. You're extra power that they keep is deducted from your bill. You do not sell any power back to any companies. They just credit you. I'm still doing a lot of homework but sometimes I'm wondering is it just as bad if not worse than where we are now with electric grids. I think the best way to go is hydrogen power. Now that's just something to think about.

Again I'm not disagreeing with everybody. I'm just saying they're not saving as much as they think they are and it's not as renewable as they think it is. And if you own your in system entirely how long has it been since you've had maintenance done? And how much does the maintenance cost? I'm not against it I'm thinking about getting it myself. I just know the things that I'm saying are fact that's all

I cannot provide a link to the documentary. But if any of you watch the documentary called "planet of the humans" a film by Jeff Gibbs which is a investigator and or finder of truth. Then you will see proof to my word and truth to my word. I don't just make stuff up. I look for facts only just like you do. And if you watch the film you will be surprised by the facts. I wish I can send you some type of link for the film but I can sorry. I hope you watch it. I would love to get feedback from anyone who watches it or has seen it.

Why don't you guys or women watch a certain documentary called"Planet Of The Humans" Directed by Jeff Gibbs. Then give me your opinion on alternative renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind turbines. It's actually a really good documentary too you might even enjoy it.

There's no reason to be rude about a conversation. And I don't need the benefit of the doubt from anybody. And you do not run off the grid at night. The problem is the solar panels do not produce enough power fast enough for the amount a normal size family household needs. So it charges the batteries firstly then it uses both battery power and solar power for larger size families. Depending on the size of the house and the amount of panels you own. You may have enough to run your entire house without a battery. But I guarantee you you still have a battery. You don't have to believe me. All I'm saying is I worked with solar for years and I'm telling you what I know is truth. And the gimmick of once the units paid off you can sell your power back to the electric company is idiotic. Because then you have to take care of your regular maintenance on your equipment. That's where that money will go trust me there is lots of maintenance that people do not see. And that's how they sell the units. Trust it or don't trust it I'm just putting it out there so people can do their homework and find out for themselves how solar panels and wind turbines really do work. Again I'm not going to reduce myself to calling people names or saying they have some kind of disease. But I do appreciate your benefit of the doubt.

I don't disagree on the carbon emissions. But like I said it is not renewable energy. You have to mine stuff from the Earth to build them and the batteries to use them. That is a fact and when your power is out and your battery is dead you do run off the grid that's a fact. But I'm not saying that because I'm against them I'm just saying they need a better way to do it

They don't really save you money to be honest. And they don't really help the environment. The money you supposedly save will end up going towards regular maintenance on the actual panels. And as far as the environment goes with all of the mining that goes into the making of them is crazy amount. First you have to mine mostly sand for the panels to be made. Plus other metal elements. Then you have to mine to make the batteries. So it is really not renewable energy. Plus when the Sun is gone and you have no power from your solar unit. You'll be drawing from the grid. So again not as great as they make them out to be.
