    I’d love for you to see the Uranium and Thorium mines in Canada and tell me how clean that looks to you.

      Uranium and thorium mines are just as clean as the rare earth metal mines needed for PV cells. This is kind of a moot point. We need carbon free energy now and solar, wind, hydro, and nuclear are all part of the mix of solutions needed. There are many considerations currently being made to determine which technologies should be used in what locations.

      Make sure to compare with a West Virginia mountaintop-removal coal mine.
