Vial? You mean test tube don't you.

Are you sure about that? I always thought dams and water turbines were the cheapest energy available. What about storing the energy produced by wind turbines, or even solar panels for that matter. Doesn't the cost of storage and lost energy because of lack of storage availability factor into the overall performance?

Thanks a lot for your in depth, knowledgeable answers.

I meant to be asking about contamination in land fills and ground water from the toxic materials used to manufacture both wind generators and solar panels.

Thin-film PV cells contain a number of more toxic materials than those used in traditional silicon photovoltaic cells, including gallium arsenide, copper-indium-gallium-diselenide, and cadmium-telluride[5]. If not handled and disposed of properly, these materials could pose serious environmental or public health threats.
