Where do you think electricity comes from ......... The electricity ferry ! ?

Your point is ? Electricity comes from power plants fired by coal or Natural gas, steam,nuclear ? take your pick they all pollute in one form or another.

...all of which have to be manufactured. Every manufacturing process will have by-products of some sort. Solar cell manufacture has many nasty, nasty chemicals produced, like cyanide and arsenic. You can't get something for nothing....
