erm, the biggest problem i have with statements like this is that sure, the power itself is nice and clean but the processes required to build the wind turbines and particularly the solar panels, aren't. they're shocking!

I would say google it, but googles dominated by "solar is our saviour" pages, i cant for the life of me find the link to some lovely photos, but i'll keep looking
