    I feel that the pandemic is due to wildfires & pollution all over the world. I have the following suggestions-
    1. Solar power should be aggressively promoted to homes & industries. Solar farms are more economical than home based solar power.
    2. Natural gas need to be promoted for industries & vehicles. Nuclear power is better than coal based power in areas where there is less risk of earthquake.
    3. Manufacturing should be decentralized. Most of the manufacturing happens in China & possibly the pollution causes the wild fires in Australia & Americas. It can be seen that there are no major wildfires in Europe & Africa whereas there are more wild fires in Australia & US. This is possibly due to wind direction. When we travel from India to the US in eastward direction we reach faster than the westward travel. This is due to the wind direction. I feel wildfires can be prevented by shifting manufacturing related to Americas locally possibly in South America & also by aggressively shifting to home based solar & solar farms & natural gas for industries & vehicles.
