Globalsolution whilst I appreciate the note - it's also significantly flawed.
Natgas production has got CO2 reduction in the form of carbon capture.
Solar Panels production NEEDS solar panels in order to reduce the CO2 output, currently today the aren't enough facilities in the world making panels outside of China (where everyone knows the rules are relaxed).
The next big flaw is it just looks at initial production. The CO2 emissions from solar only have transport which could be seen as equivalent to NatGas but that's it. They are 0 emission beyond that point - for the next 10-20 years. NatGas is then burnt and those emissions should be factored in.
If you look at as specific thing in isolation and compare it something else then it's not very good analysis. Technically specific the most CO2 producing (if you look at only emissions, not net absorbed) will be farming which everyone knows has a net benefit to the world.
