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.

What are Clean and Green Energy ?

According to the question the clean means something or somewhere free from wastes and other litter what are disturb to the beauty of there. But the green is not only about clean, it is related more deeper than clean. if Some thing green and it doesnt mean clean. Environmental friendly things are more green, when we consider a product if it is used eco-friendly method of production it can be considered as a green product simply although not clean. Renewable powers are Green. It is not related with clean concept and cannot be describe with clean as well. Solar, wind, Nuclear, Geothermal, Todal are some examples for green energies, which are related to renewable energy catagery. Non-renewable energies are not green energies. Fossil fuels, Natural gases etc: are the examples for non renewable energies. Imagine about the Nissan leaf car and it is introduced as an eco friendly car. But this car is not 100% green car sometimes. it depends on the major method of power generation of th

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

Pottery Industry in Packaging

Pottery is the process of producing materials or the products by using of clay,ceramic like materials. The main purpose of using these materials for Packaging is because the durable and the hardness. and also the materials like ceramic are formed form natural stuff such as clay quartz and kaolin. Therefore we can consider this as an Eco-Friendly method of packaging. (But when if it is used high heating technologies and additional toxic compounds to the clay it doesn't seem Eco friendly.) Ceramic materials are also included alumina,boron nitride , silicon nitride , and silicon carbide and also they fully vacuum materials if they are fully dense. The major draw back of the ceramic is more expensiveness of forming large shapes while packaging. And also there are micro cracks can be seen on the surface of the ceramics and therefore these micro cracks reduce the strength of the Ceramic material. This is caused to contaminate the surface of the ceramic and inside too. When we are
