Underreported: NF3s and Global Warming

from Underreported from WNYC's The Leonard Lopate Show Hosted by WNYC, New York Public Radio

Switching to solar energy may not be as green as it seems. Many of the newest solar panels are made with a gas, NF3, that is 17,000 times more potent than carbon dioxide in contributing to global warming. NF3 is also used in the manufacture of flat-screen TVs, iPhones, computer chips, and lots more. Michael Prather is professor at UC Irvine.
