By the same token shouldn't those who tout solar energy as clean be 
required to " come clean" about the toxic waste from expired solar 
cells such a gallium arsinide and similar toxic wastes from which the 
general public will have to be protected? I'll wager there are toxic 
and/or hazardous wastes associated with wind generated electricity 
also.
