No source of energy can be pollution-free. It is considered that solar cells are pollution-free. However, even their making causes environmental damage indirectly. Also, in the case of nuclear energy, there is no waste produced after the fusion reactions. However, it is not totally pollution-free. To start the fusion reactions, approximately 107 K temperature is required, which is provided by fission reactions. The wastes released from fission reactions are very hazardous. Hence, no source of energy is pollution-free.

No source of energy be pollution free. Because fossil fuels cause air pollution. Nuclear energy causes more hazards for environment. In some cases, the actual operation of a device like the solar cell may be pollution-free, but the assembly of the device would have caused some environmental damage.

The potential energy of a free falling object decreases progressively. Does this violate the law of conservation of energy? Why?

Decrease in P.E. = Increase in K.E. So there is no loss in the energy by the object. There is only the transformation of the energy.
