Armed for Battle: First Solar vs. SunPower vs. Suntech

First Solar technology brings to mind just another "poison pill" with long term environmental and health issues for all living creatures. Be it solar farms, industrial businesses or smaller venues each are in no way immune from catastrophic wind events. Solar voltaic cells must bask in the sunshine, if, manufactured comprising TOXIC substances it’s only a matter of time until exposures occur. Moreover, the aforementioned patent holder, of this type of critically insufficient technology fails to mitigate the design flaws in any robust way whatsoever. Questions remain in my mind as to the value of this thin film design, when in fact; it is so toxic and structurally weak. Also, at some point the product becomes refuse, how do we dispose of it? Additionally, when violent wind storms pass over these vast solar farms, destroying them, how do we protect ourselves and surrounding environment? Why use such TOXIC materials in the first place, when others are readily available? Is it just the love of more money? First Solar chose a doomed path - either ours or its own. For our sake, hopefully, it’s First Solar. Write your congressman and women and say NO to TOXIC solar, it’s certainly NOT clean energy.
