Solar Beats Fossil Fuels

At least for the relatively inefficient chemistry cadmium telluride (CdTe) films, they are better than fossil fuels across their life cycle according to an analysis published recently.

Why?

They take less power to manufacture, which is key. I think we haven’t had enough good research on the overall life cycle of different technologies.

Now if I could get a good study like this for wind power.
