Nothing much.
Wind power is free, renewable, non-polluting, and doesn't cause global warming.
Fossil fuels are all exactly the opposite, expensive, non-renewable, polluting, and causing global warming.
Some birds get killed by the blades, but far more are killed on the electricity pylons, as well as by fossil-fuel burning vehicles and airplanes.

Why is solar power better than electricity?
Solar power is a form of electricity generation that harnesses renewable energy from the sun, making it more sustainable and environmentally friendly compared to fossil fuel electricity, which emits greenhouse gases. Solar power also has lower operating costs once the initial installation is complete, leading to potential long-term savings.
Why is nuclear energy needed?
Nuclear energy is needed to offset the environmental consequences of fossil power, such as greenhouse gases, smog, carbon footprint, etc. We also need to reduce and/or eliminate our dependence on the volatile foreign oil market.The alternative sources, such as geothermal, solar, and wind are just not ready for mainstream operation. At this point, and for the near to mid future, the only viable source of energy that makes sense, and that is safe (when you properly consider the big picture) is nuclear.Of course, when you look at the big picture, you also have to look at automobiles. Combining nuclear power to generate electricity with automobiles that run on electricity makes the most sense of all. We need to put our collective feet down and force the issue. These big gas guzzlers have to go. Sorry, but that's the way it is. If that means changing our way of life, then so be it, if we don't, the planet will change it for us - for the worse.
How is nuclear power plants worse than coal power plants?
In terms of the environment, nuclear power is much better. Fission plants emit no greenhouse gasses or carbon, and -all- of the waste can be completely contained onsite. Living next to a coal plant would actually expose you to much much more radiation than living next to a nuclear plant, because the airborne effluents produced by burning coal is highly radioactive. It's one of those things people need to get educated about. The coal industry spends millions to spook everyone about fission, and it makes me cringe to see highly advanced fission systems like in Germany and Japan be swept away by fear and the extraction industry propaganda.
What is biofuel energy?
Bio energy is one of the cheapest and most readily available energy sources. It can be applied in a variety of uses. For example, bio gas can be produced by keeping wet cow dung in anaerobic conditions. The bio gas (methane) so produced, is a very good fuel which burns to give only carbon dioxide and water. Other fuels, like oil and coal, release toxic gases like sulphur dioxide. Methane gas can be burned to cook food or create steam to rotate turbines to generate electricity.
Why road accidents at high speed are worse?
Road accidents at high speed are worse because the force of impact is greater, causing more severe damage to vehicles and occupants. High-speed accidents also reduce the time available for drivers to react and take evasive actions, increasing the likelihood of a collision. The higher speed can lead to more violent crashes and a higher chance of fatalities or serious injuries.
What makes geothermal worse than fossil fuels?
In some cases, geothermal energy projects can have negative environmental impacts such as induced seismicity, release of greenhouse gases, and land subsidence. Additionally, geothermal power plants can be expensive to develop and have higher upfront costs compared to fossil fuel power plants.
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.
What could happen to Global Warming?
If we can make enough changes, then we might be able to slow it down. We have to stop burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). If we do nothing, it will get worse and worse.
Is global warming getting worse because of humans?
Yes. But we can prevent it, stop using fossil fuels and electricity too much and hopefully global warming can slow down.
How are windmills worse than fossil fuel?
They are not. It's the other way round. Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), when burnt, release carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. Wind turbines generate electricity without any pollution, using renewable energy, which is the way of the future.
Why does fossil fuel use in the US make the US vulnerable to the political wishes of foreign countries?
The US is a net importer of fossil fuels which means that fossil fuels used in the United States come from foreign countries. If those fuels are needed to run the industries and cars that power the American economy, than the US can be held hostage by those foreign countries by their choice to deprive us of the necessary fossil fuels. This actually happened in 1973 with the Arab Oil Embargo, when Arab countries were incensed by US support for Israel and therefore cut oil production in order to hold the US (and other Western nations) hostage and force the US (and other Western nations) to cave to their demands to cease support for Israel. Thankfully, the US was able to remain uncowed, but other nations like Japan were in a much worse position and have pursued a Pro-Arab foreign policy from 1973 onwards.
Should you pick the scabies out of your skin or does that make them worse?
Makes them worse
Is hydrogen envirometally friendly when burnt?
Yes, hydrogen burns with oxygen to produce water vapor. However, producing hydrogen takes a lot of electricity, which is mostly generated from fossil fuels, so the net impact on the environment, for the same amount of energy, is worse than simply burning fossil fuels directly.
Which fuels produce the most air pollution?
Both coal and petroleum are worse than natural gas. Without any scrubbers, the worst air polluter is coal. With scrubbers, it's a tough call. Oil in the form of gasoline, emits huge amounts of greenhouse gases. On a btu basis, I would suggest coal is the worst. See related link.
Having nuclear plant is the right move in Malaysia?
There is a tremendous amount of debate about whether nuclear power plants are good in any country. Nuclear power has several advantages: it emits no air pollution or greenhouse gases, and it does not depend upon fossil fuels (which are getting more expensive). The disadvantages are that if a nuclear power plant is not run correctly it can have a very destructive accident (such as the infamous Chernobyl incident) which is far worse than anything that can happen with other kinds of power plants; and it is difficult to dispose of the nuclear waste which they produce. Greater use of solar power and wind power would seem to be a better move.
What makes cancer worse?

Why is it important to use Eco friendly fuels in vehicles?
Because if we harm the environment, that would make our life worse.
