This is precisely what happens when ethics (here, being "green") becomes reduced the calculation of inputs and outputs. Ethics becomes reduced to an industry-friendly equation.

This headline "Solar Energy Was America's Largest Source of New Energy for 21 Straight Months" is wildly misleading because even if it's true that it is the largest producer currently being built as new construction it is still producing such an infinitesimally small amount of actual energy comparatively speaking that it's barely even statistically significant.
So you did not even read the summary:
The installed capacities of solar (11.1%) and wind (11.8%) are now each more than a tenth of the U.S. total. Taken together, they constitute 22.9% of the U.S.'s total available installed utility-scale generating capacity. At least 25-30% of U.S. solar capacity is in the form of small-scale (e.g., rooftop) systems that are not reflected in FERC's data.
+11% barely significant, yeah right

We do learn from an article like this, wasps are apparently able to go to places where they pick up human sourced radiation.
So the first thing a sane organization would do is find the source and clean it up.
Yes granite has a natural radioactivity, it is called NORM, Naturally Occurring Radio active Materials but Natural does not necessarily mean safe or even healthy!
Once I had to do a NORM measurement for Shell and later in the day I had to return the Geiger counter to their local office.
Regretfully the office was closed but there was a security man and we filled in the required document.
Now he was interested in how this instrument worked so I switched it on on the granite desk of the reception and yes, it went over the safe limit.
His question was now, can I still work here? So I told him all was fine but he should not sleep with his head on the desk :)
