Re: Carbon emissions of solar panels?
Among other issues, wind farms tend to desiccate the local environment. This is one of the reasons off-shore installations are attractive--evaporate the water in a place not really subject to salinization and then let the water vapor blow on-shore to fall as rain.
For some reason, people worry less about this and more about the occasional bird kill, even though an average cell tower will have a higher dead bird count than a wind farm most years.
