And? Construction of a coal or gas fired power station has a carbon footprint too. Said coal or gas fired power station will have massive carbon emissions for every GWh of electrical energy produced. The cable and associated solar panels will have close to zero. Add it up over the lives of the respective power stations and see what you get.
