You know what, construction industry could have made the same argument - oh look, all insulation suppliers use asbestos, the factory is built out of it too, its everywhere in the supply chain, you can't actually avoid asbestos if you ate trying to build a house, so we should learn to live with it.
You can't avoid fossil fuels, you gave to use fossil fuels to produce a solar panel, so dreaming about clean energy is pointless.
The difference is that some i industries pull the finger out of their bum and clean up their act, and some i dustries, like our's, does not. Even thoigh perfectly serviceable alternatives exist.
