Every day, the world produces carbon dioxide which is released into the earth’s atmosphere and will still be there in one hundred years’ time. This increased amount of carbon dioxide increases the warmth of Earth and is considered to be the main cause of the "Global Warming Effect." The most helpful answer to global warming is to replace energy techniques with alternatives that have better performance and do not emit carbon dioxide. This is what we call alternative energy. It is estimated that…

wind energy that are installed in the United States and about 6,000 megawatts are being built are now. The United states has the most wind energy in the world and are approximately 2,000 megawatts ahead of China. Not only does the United States have the most wind energy in the world, they also create the most new jobs which was around 35,000 of them. There are a lot of good things that can come from using wind energy. Also you might wonder why we use wind energy instead of any other energy and…
