Clu...'All power is from the Sun' - comment.<br />Clue: wind power is generated by wind: wind is caused by the Earth's surface/atmosphere being heated at different rates, thus causing high and low pressure areas: wind blows from high to low.....so wind is created by the Sun.Ken Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719906304442070128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3301757140313310161.post-26653362836181789792017-12-27T01:21:27.154+00:002017-12-27T01:21:27.154+00:00I remember roasting chestnuts on an open fire....h...I remember roasting chestnuts on an open fire....having ready a saucer of salt...and getting a splinter of the very hot shell down my finger nail, but it was worth it.<br />But a slight clarication, Nige; wood, like straw in the local straw burner power station, is environmentally carbon-neutral - they are not fossil fuels. Burning plants only emit gases, compounds and elements that the plant has needed to grow during it life....the same are consumed by the next generation of plants and a balance is maintained. Whether burnt, allowed to rot/decay naturally, the same ingredients, accepting that there is the volume of plant-life is constant goes thro' a natural cycle.<br />Even with a major forest fire, while the local population may be suffer a major smoke pollution for a relatively short period, the same, or more precisely, their equivalent 'pollutants' are absorbed by new growth and maturing trees of the next generation within the forest.<br />Fossil fuels is like breaking into a reservoir of captured gases and compounds from millions of years ago being allowed to escape into the atmosphere during a comparatively short period..(particularly since the Industerial Revolution)...and the World becomes over-dosed, with the resultant consequences.Ken Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719906304442070128noreply@blogger.com
