Best Answer

This may be related to the oils used on some parts of the inner mechanisms of the dryer. When heated, the oils could smell slightly similar to the smell of a gas dryer. Or, your dryer could be pulling in odors (car exhaust fumes, outdoor cooking grills, etc.) from outside through the venting system.

Which is more expensive fossil fuels or solar energy?

It depends on how you use it. If you use a solar close dryer ( a clothes line) it would use less electricity than an electric clothes dryer. But what about your time? If it took you half an hour to hang up and take down the clothes and your time is worth $8 an hour? You could say that the labor cost is $4. If it only took one minute to put the clothes in an electric dryer and the dryer used $1 worth of electricity you would actually save time. And like they say time is money. So there are a lot of ways of looking at it. Solar energy does make a lot of sense when you use it in a remote location where you don't have access to power lines.
