Reports that it’s worse than burning coal are ridiculous and incorrect. That wouldn’t have been true 10 years ago, and things are far better now. The carbon payback is months, and that will continue to reduce as more renewables are put in use (as the energy used to make panels themselves will be more and more from renewables). This will be the same with wind - first commercial steel made with green hydrogen (instead of coking coal) was delivered just this month. The development of that will have exciting consequences.
