Wind Energy

From an FB post:

 

As far as the "Wind Energy" biden is pushing..... Bet you didn't know, most of the parts for a wind turbine are built in Germany, it requires 60 gallons of oil to lubricant the turbine. ( where do you think that oil leaks when a seal bust ?? On the ground)) The blades are made of a toxic fiberglass combination and are buried in landfills in Wyoming. Bet that's safe for ground water....NO IT'S NOT. The turbine has to spin continually for 7 plus years just to replace the energy it took to manufacture the turbine.....

It has to run continually for 50 years just to pay for the cost to manufacture and install the turbine....which is approximately $2 million dollars per turbine.

Let's use common sense & WISDOM of GOD. GOD WINS.

Right from the L.A. Times if you can imagine that?

Renewable Energy is The Scam We All Fell For.

Texas, the most red state in america, loves them some wind turbines. Over 20% of that great state’s power comes from wind.  It’s their plan to install more. Better yet, they’re also plumbing in massive amounts of lithium battery storage facilities to accentuate the advantages of wind power. Yes!!

I wonder if they’ll be able to make any technological advances in the future.

The left has never understood science and that’s why they love wind and solar so much

Compare the payoff time of 7 years for a wind turbine to the payoff time of a NG plant or nuclear. Then throw in the amount of labor to keep them running and fed with fuel.

They don't love it that much. 

There's a sentiment that is common. 

"Not in my back yard."

They are all for it when they don't have to see it.

I'm actually a fan of using some form of renewable.  Wind, sun, and gravity are pretty common.   It would make sense to create the type of energy that we need out of those sources.  They are unfortunately not the most efficient in terms of overall cost.  It is hard to beat the efficiency of creating heat by burning something.  That basic concept has been the number one source of power to run stuff for a long time. 

It seems almost ironic that wind energy is getting a bad rap.  I grew up in an area that was damn windy.  There were tons of those old windmills around pumping water.  The sound of those things bring memories.  Wind was part of life on the prairie and we used it to get things done.  It wasn't a big deal until we tried to power up the city folk with bigger and bigger windmills.

Does one wind turbine produce equal energy to a NG or nuclear power plant? 

How many wind turbines equal a nuclear plant?

For example, it takes the output of about 2,000 wind turbines of 2 megawatts (MW) each–roughly half of the 8,203 MW of new US wind installations last year–to equal the annual energy production of a single typical nuclear reactor.

 

FOOTPRINT IS SMALL A typical 1,000-megawatt nuclear facility in the United States needs a little more than 1 square mile to operate. NEI says wind farms require 360 times more land area to produce the same amount of electricity and solar photovoltaic plants require 75 times more space.

Didn't a tornado just run ragdoll over a wind farm last month?

It’s good to have a mix. Texas is a perfect example of forward energy thinking.

Forward thinking? their windmills froze up in a winter storm leaving thousands of people without power for weeks

Why not when the idiots at tge fed keep sending out checks to pay them to do it with money we borrow from China.  You must be so fucking proud

Their NG Plants did the same.

Wrong again . It is 7yrs of constant spinning just to replace the energy used to build it . It takes 50 yrs to pay for it self if there are zero breakdowns and zero maint costs .  But what ever

That was really dumb. Even tho they are a southern climate winter storms are not uncommon there.

Wasn't he just saying how Texas electric grid was a mess, now he is saying how Red State Texas has forward thinking.  The guy can't spin fast enough.

Texas power grid is fine. What's a mess is the locked down format of no power sharing. Why do you insist on posting data on wind turbines that's outdated by more than 10 years? Must have an agenda.....

LOL.  In one thread he is slamming texas and saying "red states sure are a bunch of weak kneed cunts"  next thread he calls them forward thinking.  It is that passive aggressive way he constantly uses to argue.
