The world as we know it is not in a great condition. Most people would argue that this is due to humanity’s major dependence on fossil fuels to produce energy; those being coal, oil, natural gas, and so on. But is there really a viable solution to this? Is there a clear winner in the solar vs coal debate? We think there is, but it doesn’t come without its costs.
Even though many may argue that solar energy is clean and good for the environment, it still leaves its mark on the earth. However, it can be agreed that the effects that coal has in general are much more severe than those of solar powered panels. When weighing the costs between the two, it can be argued that solar panels will have some form of impact on its surroundings, but not to the extent of the damage coal production causes.
