Rain is the great blessing of God. When it rains it is said that God is showering all his love and blessings on mother nature. However when it is acid rain, God is cursing the cruel manner in which man is exploiting the nature. Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, i.e. elevated levels of hydrogen ions. This can occur due to volcanoes and lightning strikes but the major cause of acid rain is the release of high levels of harmful gases by vehicles and factories. Acid rain is caused by emissions of compounds of ammonium, carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. Read the full story

Nuclear power is produced by controlled nuclear reactions, which are non-explosive in nature. Commercial and utility plants currently use nuclear fission reactions to heat water to produce steam, which is then used to generate electricity. Nuclear fusion reactions are safer and generate less radioactive waste than fission. These reactions appear potentially viable, though technically quite difficult and have yet to be created on a scale that could be used in a functional power plant.

So far wind power and solar energy have been quite successful in benefiting human nature without any negative side effects. Wind power is worth as the power products doesn’t release any waste products that could harm the environment, neither it creates pollution that damages the global air and increases the carbon rate in the air. Thus it is a worry free source of energy that makes only electricity produce and with no harm, helping in saving US economy.
Drawbacks of Industries using toxic elements:
Previously in US many industries releases so much of carbon emissions that badly spoiled the environment specially the air. In old times, the US industries when in process releases of heavily toxic elements like sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides and also that oxides of carbon and nitrogen causes acid rain that damages the greenery of the forests and agriculture in the regions where crops grow.
