Wind Energy is a cure worse than the disease.

PV (Photovoltaic Solar panels) is one of the two most benign major power generation technologies. PV installed on roof or parking lots imparts almost 0 additional environmental cost. PV is also taking the Suns energy directly and converts solar radiation it into electricity. The conversion losses are very low! PV can be installed anywhere, works in any climate and is very robust. It is also exceedingly cheap and lasts (go with name brands) a very long time (30+ years) with little maintenance.

Whereas wind uses that same solar radiation converted in heated air, converted in moving air, converted in rotating mechanical energy, converted in electrical energy ( this later part at a max efficiency of about 50% ). Wind energy has consequently very poor efficiency overall. 
But the worst is its huge footprint; the largest windturbines block more air (greater surface area) than the empire state building. Their foundations are made of thousands of tons of concrete blocks of concrete to counteract the wind forces. They require heavy duty permanent access roads (on land). They require constant maintenance and cleaning. They kill Millions of tons of insects and birds. No cars kill birds higher than 2 m of the ground wind turbines block disks of 150 m (450 feet) diameter to birds, insects and bats with blades moving at higher speeds than cars. Don’t be fooled by the apparently slow moving blades - they actually move at 300 km per hour (it deceiving in a similar fashion as we perceive a Jumbo jet as slow). 
Cats don’t kill California Condors or eagles, they don’t kill flying insects. Buildings are static and they are don’t impede the air as much as the hundreds of thousands of wind turbines do. They cause flicker and low frequency noise and they are unsightly.
They can (for many reasons) not be employed near the users. Nobody wants them installed on half dome in Yosemite or the Versailles Palace yet they are only viable where wind speeds are high, far away from the energy users.
Wind turbines in the sea kill birds (think about the graceful Frigate birds) just as well as on land, they require even larger foundations in seabeds and thousands of miles of cables in the sea. 
And, in the huge numbers envisioned will change the climate enough to make large parts of the earth uninhabitable (note that the Artic will chill but the effects on the rest of the world (likely heating) were not simulated.

Solar Wind

Solar Wind is an energized stream which includes of charged particles , such as Electrons and Protons. Those particles are the most consisted in solar wind. But it includes alpha as well. When we are go into this topic " Solar Wind" , we have a doubt how its generated? Solar wind is Massive injection of those particles mentioned above. The main reason for the solar wind is the reaction which are occurred in the Sun's Core. Because of this reactions , charged particles are generated and they starting to move here and there with high(extreme) velocities. Due to this, those charged particles are reached to the outer boundary of the sun and then they are become free charged particles which have no more bound by the Sun's Gravity. Then they Escaped from the Sun's gravity and move like a stream What we call Solar Wind.And also travel as far as distance. Lets go and check more further what is solar wind......?? Sun extremely contains a gaseous body and a...

Irradiation Food 😲

Food irradiation is a processing and conservation technique with results similar to freezing or pasteurization. During this procedure, the food is exposed to ionizing or radiation doses. At low doses, irradiation prolongs the life of the product. This process kills insects, molds, bacteria and other harmful microorganisms in high doses. Food irradiation is a safe and effective processing method for the last five years. Food irradiation has been approved in 40 countries, including Australia, the US, Japan, China, France and Holland. Currently, only bs herbs and spices, bal plants and some tropical fruits have been approved by the FSANZ Food Standards Australia (FSANZ) for irrigation in accordance with the FSANZ Food Standards Code of Australia and New Zealand. For each of these, FSANZ has confirmed that there are no safety issues and significant nutritional changes due to food irradiation. Consumers can make a conscious choice by clearly labeling irradiated foods. Irradiated food...

Atmosphere Escape

How we can do save our planet, Have you an idea about it? Do you know in each second that we have passed, yeah at the moment... we loss our atmosphere, it is known as atmosphere escaping. What is the Atmosphere escape,  it is about the gases that are containing in our atmosphere are escaping in to the space. As an instance the current rate of the loss is about 3 KG of hydrogen and 50 g of helium per second. Is this a big amount? Not only gases the matter is also escaping, it is a kind of leaking in to the space our atmosphere.! The majorly, there are  two questions are generated because of this escaping How and Why it escapes to the space ? What are the reasons that are caused to this task ? Our planet (Earth) has an atmosphere which weighs of at around five quadrillion (5 × 1015) tonnes. But it is leaking today. Given the expanse of out atmosphere 90 tonnes per day to a small leak. luckily it is very small leaking, If not like that?..... As we told above...
