Posted by sana as Global Warming
In our last discussions we had the detailed view of CO2 n its emission due to our negligence. Now I would like to bring in the light some more facts that can be useful to stop Global Warming and that is the USE OF SOLAR ENERGY.
Here are some facts n benefits of Solar Energy
Greatly reduced pollution
Why not pollution-free? Because it isn’t always. While having much better credentials than fossil fuel for polluting emissions, the environmental costs of manufacturing and constructing solar energy appliances must not be forgotten.
Also, consider the wider impacts of burning biomass and of large hydropower schemes. So, advantages of solar energy are still shadowed by some disadvantages. That’s just the necessary paradox of life.
Greatly reduced contribution to global warming
One of the greatest advantages of solar energy of course is that there are no carbon dioxide, methane or other emissions that warm the atmosphere. Again, manufacturing and installation of solar appliances are necessarily accompanied by some of those emissions.
Infinite energy resource
Solar energy is not a finite resource as fossil fuels are. While the sun is up there it constantly produces all the energy we can use.
Reduced maintenance costs
While not maintenance-free — what technology really is? — once solar panels, wind- or water power facilities are in place, no fuel or lubricants need to be supplied.
Falling production costs
The financial costs of producing appliances such as solar cells and solar hot water panels are falling as technology develops. Comparatively solar energy is competing with fossil fuels as fossil fuel prices have risen steeply globally in the last few years. Solar energy technology is becoming increasingly efficient.
Low running costs
With prices of traditional fuels soaring the cost advantages of solar energy are becoming obvious. After installation of the appliance, solar energy is free.
Local application
Suitable for remote areas that are not connected to energy grids. In some countries solar panels for domestic use in remote areas are becoming sources for local employment in manufacture and installation.
Fossil-fuel poor countries can kick their dependency on this energy and spend their funds on other things through application of solar energy.
Health and safety benefits
In some poorer countries where people have used kerosene and candles for domestic heating and lighting, respiratory diseases and impaired eyesight have resulted. Many people have been burned through accidents involving kerosene heating. Solar energy, especially with excess energy stored for night-time use, overcomes these problems.
ReliabilityAmong the significant advantages of solar energy is that of reliability. Local application and independence from a centrally controlled power grid and energy transport infrastructure is insurance from upheaval through political and economic turmoil.
It’s nice indeed when you can rely on your alternate energy sources to be able to prepare a hot meal for your family, turn on a light to read by, play a game or study, or operate your computer.
So dear chap! I have performed my duty by sending you this information & now being the inhabitant of Earth you obligation starts i.e. to forward this knowledge to all of your contacts n friends as well. I would like you to be a strong clasp of my chain to bind Global Warming from going at dangerous level. Hope you will do struggle with me as I can’t do it individually at mass level. Plzzzzz don’t consider it mere a newsletter. I want to spread consciousness among people and for this cause I need your help at every step so plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz invite your contacts at my platform n forward them my message with the following link:

Hope to see you standing with me at my platform in this cause.
for further details about Global Warming and for the previous newsletters you can visit my website

It will provide you knowledge about many other topics of your interest as well.

1Hi Sana, a very informative piece. So many people forget the environmental cost of manufacturing things like solar panels, so it was nice to see you include this in your information!
One thing I would like to add, is that solar panels are not very effective at producing electricity in the long dark winter months in the far North. However solar energy can still be used to produce hot water all year round if placed facing South. I suppose the lesson is that we should find the most effective ways of producing green energy for the various climates we live in.
Keep up the good work!

2Dear Graham,
Thanks a lot for putting the words of appreciation over here and being philanthropic towards my campaign. I guess you are the same Graham Wheeler who supported warmly my campaign at facebook and argued with that Mr.William Burnam who criticized our campaign and tried to discourage us by considering us to have a link with Al-Qaida or somewhat terrorists.
Thanks a lot for your arguments there and also keep forwarding us the information you have about Global Warming.
Regards.
Graham
