'''Out of sight out of mind''' is a  fallacy of thought. It occurs when in the case that direct evidence is not always in sight, a person does not believe that a certain action is happening. For example, many [[liberal]]s tout [[solar energy]] as extremely [[clean]], but do not realize that the manufacture of the panels creates many [[toxic chemical]]s that are placed in the [[environment]]. Since they do not see this, they assume that solar panels are perfect.
