I can’t even imagine growing up in coal mines.
My asthma winces at the very idea. I saw a bumper sticker in the US some years ago that said “Coal keeps the lights on”, well, I guess, but so do other things that aren’t carcinogenic.
Hmm. Sun, oil, nuclear, um… maybe wind isn’t carcinogenic.
Wind is carcinogenic when it’s blowing all the exhaust from vehicles and production plants your way! Yum!
Wind turbines reduce the blowing by the amount of energy they create minus the heat created by friction. I guess that could create stagnation smog which would be bad.
Edit: eventually it could slow down the moon and kill everything. eventually. suns likely to explode first.
Isn’t wind caused by a combination of heat from the sun and the spinning of the planet? I think we’d have to cover a bonkers amount land with turbines before we saw an appreciable increase in stagnant air.
I was thinking all energy on earth (except nuclear?) comes from the sun. I suppose that there is some inertial energy from previous stars/big bang.
Yeah, elements heavier than iron, like uranium, only form in supernovas at the end of a star’s lifespan. So, arguably still solar energy, just not our solar energy.
And everybody clapped.
