Fossil Fuel Plants produce massive amounts of carcinogenics into the atmosphere, not only increasing the rate of global warming but also increasing the cancer rates among humans. In fact, more radiation is released by Fossil Fuel power plants than by nuclear power plants. This is due to radioactive carbon as well as other radioactive elements actively released in coal plants.

Is solar power plant is better than wind power plant?

Yes, solar power plants are better than wind power plants. The reason is that wind power plants convert wind into electricity, but if there is no wind, wind power plants won't be able to do their job. Solar Power Plants use solar energy from our entire solar system. There is infinite solar energy in the solar system, so solar solar power plants are better. Solar and wind do not produce any real power in terms of our needs. Solar is the worst of the two by a small margin. Typical payback, in terms of energy used to create and maintain a solar panel is longer then the projected life of a panel. Winds worst issue is the needed fossil fuel plants running in the background. This power is completely wasted unless the wind stops or slows below the running speed of the turbine. Wind also stops generating power at speeds above 32 mph. The fossil fuel plant again will make up this loss. The better alternative is hydro then either of these that provide little or no power.

Why is fossil fuels worse then hydroelectric power?

Fossil fuels are worst than hydroelectric power because when they are burnt to harness their energy, they release CO2, a greenhouse gas, this enhances the effects of global warming and as once fossil fuels have been mined and burnt, they are gone and will not reacumilate again for millions of years whereas hydroelectricity doesn't burn any carbon, releasing no CO2 and hydroelectricity's original source of power will never run out, making it much more efficient.
