14 DAY TRIAL // Recent studies show that, regardless of the fact that more and more industries are working towards switching to ecological power so as to show their concern for the well-being of our environment, the techniques employed to design and build items such as solar panels and wind turbines are, in fact, harmful to the environment.
Let us be more specific: according to the scientists working at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the companies which are in the business of producing “green” equipment mostly resort to your typical polluting gizmos and gadgets during their manufacturing processes.
Therefore, when it comes to green technolgies manufacturers, one can indeed argue that the end product is one that follows protocols in terms of not releasing gas emissions into the atmosphere or leading to harmful waste being accumulated in the natural world.
However, these unwanted substances are, nevertheless, produced and most likely improperly disposed of when designing and producing the ecological equipment in question.
As ecogeek.com points out, before praising endeavors such as the attempt to make ecological energy sources more popular amongst the general public, one should first take a step back so as to gain some perspective and carefully take into account the environmental risks posed by this quick development of so-called green industries.
For the time being, it is our belief that it can only be a good thing that more and more people are growing preoccupied with promoting a responsible attitude towards the environment by means of using solar/wind/water and the like energy sources.
However, we find it a bit paradoxical – to say the least – that the companies which deal with creating and promoting such green technologies seem unable to find both the time and the money necessary to update their own manufacturing plants.
Last but not least, we should like to point out that this situation baffles us even more, given the fact that of all people, these companies are supposedly the ones best informed with respect to such issues.
