What are the hidden environmental and social costs of solar power?

This may be only personal opinion, but the costs of harnessing solar power are giving up polluted air and pointless wars fought over fossil fuels. I'll admit that going to solar power for everything from houses to cars would kill the oil industry, so that might be a cost for you, if you care for such things.
Germany as I recall is currently the world's leader in production and usage of solar cells and the resulting energy, and I don't believe they're in dire straits at the moment because of it.
Coal miners and oil well diggers will lose the jobs, but jobs will open up in solar panel manufacturing plants will open.

What do conflict theorists believe is the purpose of the hidden curriculum?
Conflict theorists believe that the hidden curriculum serves to reinforce and perpetuate social inequalities and power dynamics within society. They argue that the hidden curriculum teaches students how to conform to dominant social norms, values, and behaviors that maintain the status quo and reproduce existing social hierarchies.
Is nuclear power cheaper than thermal power?
yes It's difficult to measure. There are HUGE up-front costs to build a nuclear power plant, and then long-term costs to safely store the spent fuel, which must be included with the relatively low day-to-day operating costs to calculate the total cost of nuclear power. Of course, in the rare event of a serious reactor failure, there are also enormous environmental costs, too. Geothermal power is only available in specific areas that have the right conditions, but it doesn't have the extreme potential costs of nuclear power.
What is environmental possibilism and propabilism?
Environmental possibilism is the idea that although the environment may be limiting in some aspects, humans have the ultimate power to adjust to their environment. This is opposite the theory proposed by environmental determinism, which suggests that the environment itself shaped our social behaviours.
