What Is Green Technology?

Green Technology is any technology that does not injure or impact the earth’s environment through the process of supply, manufacturing, use, and disposal.

We ask in this video: Electric cars, solar panels, and LED light bulbs are a few examples of current Green Technology, but are they really “Eco-Friendly?”

Where do I learn more on environmental technology.

Where can I get base paper ( research paper) on this video. Please help

How is a photovoltaic cell created? It is HEAVILY dependent on fossil fuels. Every single step of the production of solar photovoltaic power systems—solar energy—requires the use of fossil fuels, for carbon reductants, for smelting silicon from ore, for providing heat and power for the manufacturing process, for the transport of materials across nations and continents, for construction and installation. The only truly renewable materials consumed in solar photovoltaic power systems production, you know what they are? Trees, torn down and obtained from the burning of vast areas of tropical rainforest, mainly in the Amazon, for creating charcoal—carbon—which is needed for extracting silicon. Now add to this the mineral resources and fossil fuels necessary for constructing factories, processing equipment and maintenance of the solar energy infrastructure! And at the end of this process, you know how long a solar panel last? Maybe twenty years. You know how long a solar battery lasts? Five, maybe ten years maximum. You think in five, ten, fifteen year this cell and this battery have balanced out all the CO2 that was generated to manufacture them?

So this is a video trying to claim Alternative energy technology is all bad. Ergo we should just use fossil fuels because it is the safest form of energy?

Uh ok. Is this channel funded by the petroleum industry?
