[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of renewable energy companies are one big farce. I cannot wait for a really good expose on this👈

Secondly, what are the long term health effects of solar panels, many of which contain toxic materials in encased in plastic/glass atop of homes and corporate offices?

Many solar panels end up in landfills. 
Good for Bowser. I support this initiative. [/quote]

[b]Bowser isn't trying to stop solar installations at all. She's just raiding the fund that pays the SRECs to support an unrelated budget maneuver. The "initiative" you're supporting has nothing to do with renewable energy, it's just financial gimmickry.

As for your underlying point, there are no known long-term health effects of solar panels, which don't really contain large enough amounts of any toxic materials to be a problem (and anyway, if they're encased, and on the roof, why would they cause any health problems for people inside the buildings?). You know what does cause known long-term health effects, though? Burning fossil fuels.[/quote][/b]
