Air Pollution

• Many asthma cases have come from pollution.

• Coal-fired electric power plants still exist.• Release thousands of tons of sulfur

dioxide.• Urban areas are highly effected.• Carbon Dioxide is a contributor to

pollution. Back to table of contents

Windmills

• Windmills generate natural energy.

• Need multitudes of wind to push blades.

• Use generators to capture energy.

• Are placed in the open plains area.

• Provide energy to many cities and towns. Back to table of
