There is no end of gushing about China’s cheap solar panels—but when was the last time you saw a paean to hydroelectricity? Instead, that pure status is now reserved above all for wind and solar. The manufacture of solar panels involves the environmental costs from mining, waste disposal, and carbon emissions.
