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.

Fuel Cell and How It Works?

Fuel Cell  vehicle(when considered only the vehicle) has become the most greenest vehicle in the world today due to none pollution and the none exhausting gases like Carbon base, it exhausts only pure water. Among the fuel cell Cars the Hydrogen related car are the most popular once by today. Fuel cell is a Cell that is producing electric current because of the chemical reaction. That is a simple definition. But fuel cell has a more complex process to produce electricity.On the other way, this fuel is converting the chemical energy of the fuel in to electrical energy.Therefore we call these a electrochemical cells. This process can be done as long as the oxygen is supplied. Now we can do a discuss with this Picture 01 given below. Fuel cell is a continuous battery. As I told you the energy is generated as long as the fuel and oxygen is supplied, in the most of cases the Hydrogen will be used as the fuel.The chemical reaction which is done in this is between the Hydro...

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...

Global Warming changes Sea Levels?

Global warming is happened due to higher emissions of green house gases such as CO2, CH4 etc, and other heat generation tasks. The huge concentration of GHG cause to trap the heat inside the earth atmosphere. Sun rays are coming to the atmosphere through the layers of the Atmosphere and they are trapped uder the nearest layer of the atmosphere tothe earth. The frequency of those outgoing rays are decreases than the rays which are coming that is the reason why rays are trapped inside the layer of atmosphere. Therefore the heat is trapped also. This process is wanted to maintain the normal temperature of the earth and if it is not happen the earth’s temperature can be decreased -15 to -18 degrees of celsius. Above process is called Green house Effect. But by now this process is being happened more than expected level due to the higher emission of Green House Gases through auto mobiles and other machineries. Then the heat is trapped more and more, it affects on increasing global wa...
