pipedreams Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 Do we really want giant wind turbines floating all around the continental coastline as well as Hawaii? Turbines currently have a useable lifespan of 20 years and then must be replaced, but the time to achieve a net overall return is 22 years. Do you see the problem here? Then there is the vast ecological damage that will be done to the oceans with high-frequency vibration. ⁃ TN Editor https://www.technocracy.news/biden-chases-windmills-to-power-america/ https://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Wind-Power/The-US-Wind-Industry-Is-Racking-Up-Big-Wins.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FullClip Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 People who are such fans of windmills and solar power should have their electricity shut off when the wind ain't blowing and the sun ain't shining. There's always some Gas Turbines out there operating at partial load to take up the slack when clouds go over, or the winds lapses. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
