The blades will be sectioned off at 10-foot lengths. Clear plastic sheeting will be attached to each open end. Welcome to your new home in a 15-minute city.
I dont have anything against this type of technology. The oil industry environmental costs too. The cost to disassemble and recycle turbines should be extracted from the owners over the lifetime of the turbine.
Turbines cannot be recycled. They are a carbon fiber type alloy that cannot be melted down and reused. They simply have to be buried.
Each turbine also uses roughly 50 gallons of oil per week, and it is expensive.
Lastly, almost all the power generated by these turbines is lost in transit, as well as the fact power is needed to spin the fucking things.
On top of that, they kill lots and lots of birds, especially eagles and other big raptors.
They are complete boondogles, made to sabotage the electric grid and also steal tax money, while destroying farmland. They always choose to build on farmland, near rivers.
An alloy is a mixture of chemical elements of which in most cases at least one is a metallic element, although it is also sometimes used for mixtures of elements;
KYS retard, learn what words mean.
They're made from lissome fiberglass, which is SOME KIND of ALLOY, because I don't know exactly what's in it, I just know it's fucking impossible to recycle, now go neck
The majority of the mass of the turbine is made from steel and aluminum. I read that the blades are fiberglass. Maybe some are carbonfiber. Its not the main material. Carbon fiber is now being recycled.
50 gallons of oil a week is nothing. A medium sized turbine could fuel up to 400 homes

How is this different from electricity going over the grid from a coal plant? Besides, dont you lose energy transporting oil, gas, and coal? Don’t you lose energy processing it?
On top of that, they kill lots and lots of birds, especially eagles and other big raptors.
There are unwanted repercussions on the environment with every type of fuel.
I don’t think wind is the most efficient energy technology right now but its getting more efficient and it might be competitive with gas/oil/coal soon. I don’t see a horrible downside with the tech if its implemented well. Our political “teams” are preventing people from seeing the usefulness of each type of power. We don’t have to get our power from one source only.
This is PER turbine you stupid ass. Not counting how many trucks and personnel it takes to deliver this shit.

Yeah STUPID. Where does the energy come from to make this? You need a fuckload of coal to do this. You also need a FUCKING ABSOULTE FUCKLOAD of diesel to mine, transport, build, then transport, then install these turbines.
I'm so sick of arguing with absolute RETARDS about this subject, I work in green energy and have to deal with idiots like you ALL THE GOD DAMN TIME. Even the electrical and IX engineers are red pilled at how fucking retarded these things are. Just shut the fuck up.
seriously, shut the fuck up, you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
Seems like you don’t wan’t to have a constructive civil discussion on this subject. Obviously oil tankers, pipelines, oil derriks, off shore platforms all require energy to be made just like wind turbines. They all have the same problem.
You have to have gas, oil, coal, or nuclear power plants anyway, because they work when the wind isn't blowing. Windmills are more of a political profit industry than a reliable and legitimate source of electricity.
Nukes would be best if they used functional designs and didn't waste billions in building them, I say as a 3 mile island survivor.

I don’t see why that precludes using wind or solar. Why do we only have to have one type of power.

That may well be. Is wind still profittable without subsidies? I don’t know. The oil industry also gets government subsidies. Im against government subsidies. I just think we should have an honest analysis of the industry. Right now we have hysteria on both sides of the argument. “Renewable” energy is not inherently bad

Doesn't have to be just one type, but wind being so inefficient increases the costs of any other type and doesn't even replace them. Windmills are great at pumping water into a tank for cattle at random times. You just can't demand they spin when the wind isn't blowing. What that means is you have to maintain all your other power sources too, and just not use them when it's windy.
This would be more expensive and inefficient, even if wind power carried its own weight.
Seems like you don’t wan’t to have a constructive civil discussion on this subject.
ITS A KIKE SCAM, RETARD. Wind/Solar WOULD NOT SURVIVE without direct subsidy. And I've had idiots say, OH yeah oil/gas gets subsidy too...
OH YEAH DUDE. One is direct subsidy, and the other is deferred tax and fees. Guess which one is getting free money and which one simply getting HUGE tax and fee temporarily waived?
This is the only way 'green' commie energy can compete in energy markets, and they still constantly drive the cost up. Wind dipshit companies don't even have to pay the IX fees or even the pay for the energy transport to the grid. They make the local energy company pay for all that shit, and those costs gets put directly on US. This is why dumbass leftists states have fucking $500+ electric bills every month.
