Final comment from Dr Laura Murphy:

I do want to mention that the work we do is in the service of human rights. We are saddened to think that people might use our work to undermine the progress of the solar industry in favor of other forms of energy. We believe that solar is a key to the planet's future, but we also want the green technology transition to be a just one.
