Politically Correct modules [RE-wrenches]

[Bob Maynard, Energy Outfitters]

Hi Allan,
I have heard and not substantiated that Astropower is using some type of
chemical process to cleanup they so called recycled silicon they use and
is supposed quite toxic and enevironmentally unfriendly.  This is third
hand info and if anyone could prove or disprove, please let me know.
Thanks,
