Wind is solar energy, it's the product of the sun heating air. A very small percentage of the wind on the planet is a "product of the sun heating air". |

In that case you'll now post what causes the rest??? Even the migration of the various entire systems from the west to the east is directly related to the sun. Anyway if you think otherwise I for one will read your explanation with interest. K |
