you are right, the voltiac bags are super cool

When we're considering the environmental advantages of PV cells, how do you factor in the disposal of the gnarly chemicals used in their production?

Start by naming names, Lee. Raising awareness of any environmental issue is best accomplished by presenting specific information.

That is: back up "gnarly chemicals" with links to information on photovoltaic manufacturing processes.

Because right now, I don't know what you're talking about.

Information is power. Find it-->disperse it-->get things done.
