I’ve seen the turbine blades up close and it’s astonishing as to how big they are. They were being manufactured at a plant not far from my home and every now and then you would see one on a very long flatbed.

[@mikek3951]

The funny thing. The damage they do to the earth. Most you can’t reuse. Land based. 30000 tones of cement. Over 60 plus truck loads. And some bigger ones use much more. So ? Is. Can a wind turbine work long enough without any issue to offset the fuel. Cement. CO2 from cement etc. the answer is simply no. Here’s the really funny thing. There are systems out there that are better but big companies don’t want them. The little guy has zero chance unless they sell it. I made a system at my house that catches moisture in the air. I water all plants etc free. I can even use it for the house if I wanted. Solar has many issues also. Our tech just isn’t there yet for most uses. Still by far nuclear is the best way to go. Short of long term storage being a issue. I personally think the sun is the best best. But on a grand scale. Pick a nice flat area. Utah. Nevada. 100 sq miles. Solar. Even if we’re not running 100% on it That amount would be a large dent in power use. Sadly government won’t just go that way yet. Why. Power. Greed. Corruption.

[@stevetaylor2818]

@@mikek3951 Yes solar is better than wind but useless in places where not sunny all year, like the UK, where it is really windy most of the year and only sunny in the summer! And many places when wet and cloudy is very often windy, or windy overnight, so solar and wind can complement each other. And compared to coal wind is just so much better! The 3.6GW Dogger bank wind farm off the UK east coast will have 277 wind turbines each weighing 2800 tons of materials, plus infrastructure, so around 2 million tons to be installed, yes you would say, very bad for the environment! Now compare to a 1 GW coal power station. 0.6 million tons to build (mainly cement) yes better less to construct you would say. BUT the coal power station will need 9000 tons of coal per day!!!! which have to be mined somewhere else in the world: massive open cast mining machines, trucks, trains, ships, conveyor belts etc, all-consuming massive amounts of energy and resources. To sum up, the coal power station would consume over 30 years: Around 1 million tons of resources to build the power station and infrastructure to supply the coal and freshwater. 100 million tons of coal Use hundreds of millions of gallons of oil (to mine and process the coal and freshwater) Use 1 trillion gallons of fresh water in the cooling towers (globally 1/6 of all freshwater is used by fossil and nuclear power generation) Produce 6 million tons of highly toxic cancerogenic slag to landfill Produce 0.5 million tons of infrastructure to landfill Produce 300 million tons of CO2 gasses and numerous other toxic gasses. Now the offshore wind farm: About 2 million tons of resources to construct Requires No fuel No Freshwater No Oil to produce the above Produce no CO2 gasses or other toxic emissions Produce around 0.3 million tons to landfill Only need maintenance, but no more manpower than needed to run and maintain the massive coal infrastructure. Basically over its life, a wind farm will generate 1000th of the pollution and damage to the environment compared to a coal power station! So yes a wind farm does get its environmental construction damage back compared with fossil fuels, in a matter of months!!!!!!!!!!!!!
