- modeless 4y agoAnd how much electricity can you get per square meter of mined ground for solar vs. coal? The answer is in the linked article, though it is not obvious at first glance. And it's not clear to me how much recycling the materials in the panels is accounted for. Of course you can't recycle coal at all.
