The toxins released from the use of this could produce the radioactivity to harm humans’ genetics and could possibly lead to global warming. On top of being harmful, it could explode. If this were to happen, many of us would be gone and it would alter the means of life that are currently here on earth. Wind turbines and solar panels are being used in today’s…
