Wind Power for the Environment
Have you been wondering how you can easily make a big impact? The answer is here. Support wind power and you make a positive impact on:
Wind power is the most affordable zero-emission source of electricity. In sharp contrast to fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and gas, wind power emits no:
- Carbon dioxide, which causes climate change.
- Sulfur dioxide, which causes acid rain and soot.
- Nitrogen dioxide, which causes smog.
- Mercury, which causes severe neurological disorders in people and animals, particularly fish. Electricity generated from coal is a major source of mercury pollution.
- Radioactive waste, unlike nuclear power. There is still no long-term solution for the disposal of radioactive waste in this country.
