More or less than fossil fuels?

  Irrelevant, the point is that they don't increase albedo so deploying absurd amounts of them won't cool the atmosphere.

    The whole point of solar panels is to offset energy which would be produced (easier) with fossil fuels while heating the atmosphere. They very well might cool the atmosphere more, they might not. That seems pretty relevant.

    What about the greenhouse effect?

  More or less than nuclear?

    Whether it’s with solar or nuclear (or wind, hydro, geothermal, or what have you) I think it’s clear that the fossils need to be replaced foremost.
