WIND BLADE TURBINE Manufacturing Process You Won’t Believe How Are Made - Shocking Production Method

[@olbricky6824]

All those chemicals must be really good for the environment

[@francesco5254]

If properly proportioned to the amount of energy that they produce in their lifecycle, they have a very low and totally acceptable impact on the environment, unlike many other energy production technologies.

@@olbricky6824 I don't "believe" it, I studied it. I'm an energy engineer. I'd suggest you study it by yourself too. And by studying I don't mean listening to some uneducated internet celebrity, but actually analysing real data. There's plenty of resources you can use if you want to actually have a real opinion on the matter. If you wanna stay in the complot theories world, you're totally free to do it, but don't spread misinformation at least.

[@SpaztasticTV]

The fiberglass resins are made from oil that has to be refined just like gasoline or polymers for plastics. Then the blades have to be taken to locations using ships, trucks, trains and other heavy equipment to be put in place burning thousands of gallons of diesel in the process. Not to mention the refining and manufacturing of the steel, copper and aluminum assemble the final product. Its all heavy industry and it all pollutes. Green energy for the most part is a myth.

Why? on a plane you dont have 15 G's of force pulling the ice off the wings at cruising speed. Plus, they are constantly turning and are only stopped or slowed when it is 100% required

How small they are 😂 I'm working for Vestas in Nakskov they are 85 meters

[@papawoody9597]

When they wear out they can either sit in a landfill until the end of time, or they can be used in the manufacture of concrete. Well, that's super environmentally friendly. And I'm sure the resins are made from sunshine and rainbows, not toxic chemicals. Notice the suits, gloves and respirators the people working with this stuff wear? That's because if it gets on their skin or in their lungs, they become so healthy that they live forever.

[@NINJAHORSE28]

the only reason they sit in landfills is because the epoxy makes them non reusable, but Vesta came out with a solution earlier this year that is going to be implemented in 2022. That applies for new blades and ones in landfills.

[@janstroyer]

It was Siemens Gamesa that came out with the solution, not Vestas.

[@janstroyer]

Dont know mutch about epoxies hu? Lots of epoxies dont have fumes.

[@papawoody9597]

@@janstroyer Saying that "lots of epoxies don't have fumes" is like saying that "lots of mushrooms won't kill you if you eat them". While that is true, if you're eating a poisonous mushroom, the fact that there are varieties that are safe to eat won't stop the poisonous ones from killing you. Likewise, while there are types of epoxies that don't have toxic fumes, they aren't used here, which makes you statement irrelevant and stupid.

How many of these workers will have cancers within ten years?

[@dannywilliamson3340]

The typical capacity factor (time spent in operation) of a wind farm is 25-45% (Wikipedia). The capacity factor of the US nuclear industry over the last 40 years has been around 92-93%.

[@jofi6374]

Got your point: Nuclear = good, wind power = bad. Isn't it? The typical US nuclear industry produces radioacive waste without having a long term solution for that, increases the likelihood of proliferation of nuclear weapons, is a target for terrorism, poses the risk of nuclear accidents, increases risk of cancer, ... , is not taking into account ALL the eventual COST of the risks & resulting harms to humans, environment, mankind, when charging for their kWh. The typical wind farm ... is just playing in a completely other league. PS: The capacity factor is NOT the "time spent in operation" (which suggests, that "wind farms are not operating over 55% of the time"), but rather the amount of energy produced in relation to the maximum nameplate energy. More detailed, see [wikipedia/Capacity_factor]. Btw. it would be EASY to design a wind turbine with 92-93% capacity factor. It would look like a pinwheel, spinning easy all the time at the lowest possible winds. But the nameplate power and the energy you could gain from this would be extremely small. Additionaly, the power&energy gained would not rise with higher winds, which bear the REAL power (as the nameplate power is already achieved at very low winds). And in relation to it's material cost, this "high capacity factor" pinwheel would be economicaly extremely unfeasible. If I'd have the choice to be a) the one, the people call "dumbass ancestor" in a few hundred years because they die from radioactive drinking water, i'd rather b) the "not dumbass" person. Oh, actually: we have that choice!

[@dannywilliamson3340]

@@frp8871 How long does it take to repair the destruction of the balsa wood forests and small forest communities that have historically managed these precious resources for generations? In the future, there will be MORE documentary film makers journeying into these ravaged communities, destroyed not only from the loss of the ability to earn a living after the corporate buyers have swept through and bought up all the trees, but from the same social issues that develop when western culture is thrust upon indigenous communities such as drug abuse, alcoholism, etc. Right now I've only seen local journalists covering the issue. The balsa suppliers of today are the equivalent of the rubber suppliers and diamond suppliers that have been looked upon as monsters through the eyes of history. Wind power is an industry, like any other. Somewhere, an executive in the wind turbine blade production sector is cutting deals with resin suppliers who are cutting deals with the petroleum industry big wigs to bring you affordable green energy in the form of blades produced from the sweat of poorly paid and abused forest people and fossil fuel byproducts.
