Cool Solutions ‘Wind Power

Environmentalists are warning about threat caused by the modern ways of producing energy. The future of the earth is dark and posterity is in peril if steps are not taken to do away with the causes of global warming. Many cool solutions are suggested by the scientists to employ in our energy management struggle.


Wind power is one of such cool solutions to deal with our crisis. Windmills have been in use for quite sometime now. They are the instrument that makes the wind move in such a way that it produces electricity. The electricity produced by the movement of the wind is called wind power. Wind farms are the places where wind power is produced in large quantity. There are places in the world where this source is being used in such a way that it produces wind in such quantity that it is enough for their energy requirement.


This conversion of wind energy into wind power is environmentally safe way to produce energy. The production of wind power does not emit any gases that may cause or contribute to global warming. It does not require heavy expenditure to install the plant for wind power. Wind energy is plentiful. It is renewable. It is clean and can be widely distributed. Therefore wind power is a cool alternative to fossil fuel derived energy.

TDIC Projects

Abu Dhabi is a modern city; it is the largest of the seven emirates. In the capital of UAE, many projects are being established, so it will be a great tourist destination. I’m going to write about a project that I liked the most and the least interesting.
The project that I liked the most is desert islands. This project will match the desert with the marine life which are present the image of UAE culture. Desert islands consist of eight Islands, Sir Bani Yas and Dalam Islands are the main two islands of the all. The first main Island is Sir Bani Yas will has the Arabian wildlife park, where visitors can take lessons in falconry. The second is Dalma Island a place where traditional fishing and farming. The rest islands called The Discovery Islands″ consist six islands″ will feature a length of two kilometer jetty and a pier with a waterfront including cafes and shops.
Saadiyat island is the project that I like the least, because my family and I we used to live there and personally I had very great moments during my childhood, but know I am disappointed because it is not existed anymore only in my memory. However, Saadiyat Island has many Luxury hotels, museums, and Villas that will reach 90 millions dirham.

In conclusion, Abu Dhabi government is planning for a lot of projects that will challenge the world, also will be the right place for investments and first destination for the tourists.

Cool City Comments

Good adaptations:

(1) Plant trees: Carbon dioxide is produced by the burning of fossil fuels. On the other hand, plant trees reduce carbon dioxide and take it out of the air and produce the oxygen which is necessary to get a green planet.

(2) Recycle: It is good because the recycling help our environment by decreasing rubbish and to save energy. The government must distribute recycling boxes on every corner in the city, to collect waste items such as glass, paper, timber and plastic.


(3) Solar energy: It is energy from the sun, beneficial since UAE has dry weather, so it has sunlight through the year. This kind of renewable energy will reduce the use of fossil fuels. Moreover, solar energy is cleaner and easier to produce than any renewable energy.

• This is a video of how solar energy works:

Bad adaptations:

(1) Solar Vehicles: Because solar vehicles are electric vehicles and powered by solar energy, this kind of technology might be more expensive than what we are using today even if they are cleaner. Moreover, a solar vehicle has a complicated engine, so the people will face a lot of problems to fix any problem in the engine.


(2) Nuclear power: Even though it is a sustainable energy; nuclear power is a very dangerous energy source. If the nuclear repositories are explosive we will have a disaster, it will take thousands years to clean up. This kind of risk can be reduced by new technology, but there is a chance of a disaster by sabotage or accident.

• This is a video of Nuclear Underground Detonation:

(3) Public transportation: All people in UAE have their own car, so it is difficult to put a rule to prevent private cars.

My Carbon Footprint: Problems & Solutions

What is the definition of a carbon footprint,” it is a measure of
the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of green house gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide”. I did a carbon footprint, my footprint is 2.01 planets, also my carbon footprint calculated, which is 7.39 tonnes per annum.
There are many reasons for carbon footprint problems. The first reason, I go to the sea a lot by boat, my boat has a two stroke engine which is burning a lot of fossil fuel. Moreover, I drive a large vehicle which produces large amounts of carbon. The last thing, through the year I didn’t turn off the air condition at my room.
After I knew about global warming and I did a carbon footprint, I m going to apply some solutions, for my boat I will buy a four stroke engine which less carbon produce than two stroke engine, and about my a long vehicle I m going to buy a smaller vehicle to reduce the amount of carbon. About my air condition, I will try turn it off as much as I can.
All in all, I’m only one person in a huge world, so I can’t do everything for this problem. All the people around the world have worries about global warming. This is my solution.



here is a link of a funny movie about carbon footprint:
