Original Note:
The Tweet misleadingly implies that the operation of solar panels produces emissions. Manufacturing the panels does result in some carbon emissions, but at a relatively low level. These emissions are offset many times over by decades of emissions-free energy production. https://www.carbonbrief.org/solar-wind-nuclear-amazingly-low-carbon-footprints/ https://www.un.org/en/chronicle/article/promise-solar-energy-low-carbon-energy-strategy-21st-century
