China leads in solar panel production, not neccessarily in "climate change". Production of their panels emits vastly larger amounts of CO2 (because so many things are coal-powered in China) than panels produced in say Europe.
- ClumsyPilot 3y agoThey are doing exactly the right thing. A solar panel is still carbon negative no matter how it’s produced. A typical solar panel will save over 900kg of CO2 per year that results in a carbon payback period of ~ 1.6 years and expected life of 25 years It is more important to produce huge quantity of panels for the future and than it is to ensure impossible standard of perfection today.
