The Daily Bell - New Book: Solar Cells 23,000 Times Worse for Environment Than Carbon Dioxide
Solar Cells Linked to Greenhouse Gases Over 23,000 Times Worse than Carbon Dioxide According to New Book, Green Illusions ... Solar cells do not offset greenhouse gases or curb fossil fuel use in the United States according to a new environmental book, Green Illusions (June 2012, University of Nebraska Press), written by University of California - Berkeley visiting scholar Ozzie Zehner. Green Illusions explains how the solar industry has grown to become one of the leading emitters of hexafluoroethane (C2F6), nitrogen trifluoride (NF3), and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). These three potent greenhouse gases, used by solar cell fabricators, make carbon dioxide (CO2) seem harmless.
New carbon emissions rules could cost UC, CSU $28 million | The Orange County Register
SACRAMENTO – Large campuses in the University of California and California State University systems are bracing for the implementation of new state rules that will force them to cut carbon emissions or pay as much as $28 million a year to offset their greenhouse gases.  [No students will complain if fees are raised to cover this cost, am I right?  They all allegedly believe in the global warming hoax and realize that without these extra costs, they are destined to perish in CO2-induced fiery floods, correct?]
