Thinking that countries can run on breezes is worse than delusional.
A two-megawatt windmill is made up of 260 tons of steel that required 300 tons of iron ore and 170 tons of coking coal, all mined, transported and produced by hydrocarbons.
They each consume 10'000 liters (more than 2600 gallons) of crude oil based lubricants per year.
When outdated, the wind turbines are being buried deep in forests, out of public view, due to the high costs associated with recycling them.
A windmill could spin until it falls apart and it will NEVER, EVER generate as much energy as was used in building it. 🤔
Did a fucking oil executive write this?
1) Fibreglass is recyclable.
2) The idea that a windmill could never generate as much energy as was used building it is fucking crazy. Mathematically, one is a fixed constant and the other is a rate. If i spend 100 KJ to build a machine that generates 10KJ a year, in ten years it will generate 100KJ and then it keeps generating.
It took me 3 seconds to find an article debunking these stupid evil lies:
Fact-check: Do wind turbines cost more to build than the energy they produce?
Watch out for misinformation!
