So glad for this video to be what makes me realise it's a tourist attraction and has a viewing deck. Been up grouse twice and had no idea it was a toruist trap. Lets continue not talking about it so they don't profit from their lied

The most I got out of this was to be reminded how much of an a**hole Jon Ferry was.

Well done

I encourage you to do some actual critical research about "climate change".

Great research and fantastic presentation. Corporate lies exposed.

The commentary is comedy gold! Love the video :)

The most “”environmental”” Thing to do would be to take it down at this point.

All of Canada is green washing with our tax money

They should take the damn thing down and restore the original view IMO.

I would like to know who and how the 1.5 megawatt number was determined and verified and approved. Was this maximum output for the generator when running? That would be roughly equivalent to a 2000 hp internal combustion engine driven generator. That's pretty impressive for a windmill. Or was that the energy produced over a period of time, a day, a week, a month, a year, ten years, the expected life of the windmill? It would be great if that was clarified.

You make corporate sleaze fun again!!! What an entertaining video, you have a huge talent for this! Along similar lines, you should lift the lid on the 2010 Hydrogen bus, the promises to build an onsite electrolyser in Whistler and how none of it came to pass and they ended up trucking the hydrogen across Canada from Montreal, it perfectly fits with the eco dreams gone wrong theme of this video.

Wind turbines use more resources and energy just to produce them, then they can generate in their lifetime of use.

The only reason it is not in use is the control BC Hydro has over the use of other means of power that would reside in private hands returning extra power to the grid.

Has it even paid off the carbon footprint to build it? Turn it into a zip line and bungee jump and sled ride to the bottom. Those will recoup the losses and not kill any birds.

nicely done

This is the modern 'environmental/climate change' industry in a nutshell. Lots of hyperbole and lies and it the end it's just about the $$$$

This was super interesting and well done, way to go!

That eyesore should be removed and not by taxpayers. It stands as the perfect symbol of the corruption that the olympics really are. It’s not a symbol of Green. It’s the opposite. Even though it’s totally useless I’m sure that there is government money flowing into it somehow.

Exactly what carbon was it meant to offset? Vancouver's electricity is generated from water, not fossil fuels (not withstanding the garbage burner, which the province opted to turn on). BC has the cleanest electricity possible - the last thing we need are impossible-to-recycle wind turbines.

The name says it all. There is little to no wind in the eye of a storm.

Whether or not you believe in man made global warming 🙄 you have to admit that solar and wind are the most polluting and inefficient ways to generate electricity.

I love the idea of green energy but its a really stupid solution when we already have nuclear power which is a million times better and with modern plant designs very safe.

About as useful as the global warming computer model.

Tourist trap.

Great content ,thanks .

Lets not do anything then, except watch videos of guys complaining.

I got vertigo and dizzy and the ground vibrated, they had a 15 dollar fee if you wanted to go up it. it was to make money for the view

All they have to do is paint black stripes on the blades to help reduce wildlife strikes

It is just the tip of the iceberg of wasted money on net zero "will never work" technology.

Jon Ferry is more accurate than climate science then. I knew the guys that built this, all the electronics didn't have CSA certification, that's why BC Hydro didn't want it connected to the grid.

Dude it was built too fail made in China

I love the modern takes/ meme audios and editing, really entertaining along with educational!

everything about grouse mtn s a scam. esp the new mafia owners - the Gaglardi family

So, stats for the number of killed birds by this turbine ? Maybe ask trump for numbers ?

Grouse never cared about generating power, it was just an excuse to get approval for a viewing platform.

Vancouver's electricity already comes from hydroelectric dams, which is a superior form of renewable energy. Even if it worked it would still be a stupid idea.

global warming and green energy is a scam

Must have used the Vancouver Island’s urban planners. Never have I seen so few people be able to create such traffic gridlock. As for the turbine, lots of them have been improperly placed, especially 16 years ago.

Its the perfect symbol for liberal Canada.

your tax dollar at work...

Interesting video. You should look to see if the turbine owners are selling carbon credits. It is my understanding that even a non operation wind turbine can collect carbon credits for having capacity connected to the grid, even if they do not generate electricity for sale. It makes sense. Cap and trade requires companies to buy CO2 credits if they generate CO2. To make the plan work, there have to be buyers.

This is super ghey. The narrator pushing the climate narrative is….

The quality of this video is amazing! Top notch - especially the amount of research. Thank you for making it!

BC in a nutshell. Great video!

This wind turbine is a useless eyesore. Just saying.

I always thought that I was just imagining that this never turned.

I'm an ex wind tech. Very dangerous to be up tower when operating! Scary as heck! Nobody is offering tours of running turbines, ANYWHERE! If elevator has failed, then likely a major component like Gen or gearbox or YAW DRIVE! Ya need a crew to maintain and repair and CRANES are almost always needed! I worked Palm Springs on older (v-39) units and they take a lot of working to keep running.

Just more GangGreen grift. It's everywhere.
