Oops, I missed this one. Yes, if the standard process is used (slices of 
6" silicon crystal wafers), the crystal
is made by many kilowatts of careful heating and crystal growing. So 
that one is SORTA true.

Newer devices are made by an extrusion process, where the active 
junction is on a glassy surface. These use
much less energy to make and are very inexpensive. Of course they are 
not very efficient, either, but when
concentrated, work very well, I understand..
