In addition to the efficiency concerns, France should be thinking about the conflict minerals that are likely in these solar panels. I am supportive of efforts to reduce energy consumption and alternative more environmentally friendly energy sources. And it's exciting to hear about new solutions for energy that appear affordable. But I am hesitant to use technologies that use conflict minerals. Before we make decisions about buying innovative products like solar cells, we need greater awareness about the materials they use and where they are coming from.
