PLEASE READ!!!! THINK ABOUT THIS. WE DONT OFTEN SEE IT BUT ITS HAPPENING. COAL BURNING VS. SOLAR ENERGY LETS PROTECT OUR ENVIRONMENT AND SAVE LIVES AND $$$ HERES THE CURRENT WAY OF PRODUCING ELECTRICITY. COAL BURNING TO PRODUCE ENERGY IS THE MOST HAZARDOUS IN U.S.A. Air pollution from coal-fired power plants is large and varied and contributes to a significant number of negative environmental and health effects. When coal is burned to generate electricity, the combustion releases a combination of toxic chemicals into the environment, and thus the human body. A November 2009 report on the effects of coal by the Physicians for Social Responsibility found that coal combustion affects not only the human respiratory system, but also the cardiovascular and nervous system.[1] A 2011 report by the the American Lung Association found that coal-fired power plants produce more hazardous air pollution in the United States than any other industrial pollution sources.[2] A 2004 report by the Clean Air Task Force estimated that soot pollution from power plants contributes to 24,000 premature deaths, 38,200 non-fatal heart attacks, and tens of thousands of hospital visits and asthma attacks each year.[3] THE FUTURE IN PRODUCING ENERGY TO SAVE THE PLANET, SAVE MONEY, AND HAVE A BETTER AND HEALTHY LIFE. When one thinks of solar power one generally considers how this benefits the environment, but it provides numerous health benefits too. While installing solar power systems reduces electricity costs (in the long term), they offer a variety of health benefits in the short term too. Here are some of the benefits of using solar power at home and at work. Fire safety. Kerosene lamps are used as a cheap light and heat source in developing countries, and are often the cause of disastrous fires. Unlike kerosene and natural gas, it is a fact that solar power is not combustible. Reduced air pollution. Solar power energy does not emit hazardous fumes or chemicals, so as well allowing you to breathe more easily; there is no impact on the greenhouse effect. Less stress. Natural light allows your body to synchronize your waking and sleeping patterns, while daylight improves concentration. Saves money. Installing a solar geyser will reduce your electricity bills (and therefore your stress levels). Solar water heating systems are also useful in third world countries where bathing is often limited, even though it is a necessary aspect of good hygiene and can help prevent the spread of germs. Another benefit of domestic solar power is that it is easier on the eyes than artificial lighting, and promotes the development of vitamin D which boosts immunity and reduces depression. As you can see solar power technology has numerous health- and environmental benefits. Install solar power panels at home and the office for reduced energy bills and increased peace of mind. Enjoy the benefits of solar power.
