120ft turbine describing a diameter of (very roughly) 240 feet. That’s YUGE!

Wonder if they’ll ever attach James Bond to one of those things? :-/

ironically, 120' is the ideal height for the wall.

I was attempting to explain to a person today the concept of thermodynamics. Had to explain that the energy density of wind and solar cannot sustain a modern society and that taking fossil fuels and using them to charge batteries is worse than just using fossil fuels to power your car.

FR Guess:
It’s cheaper and safer to put up new ones rather than risk failure of one at the end of its life

The laws of physics and economics are demanding and unforgiving, and trend toward self-enforcement, the folly of men notwithstanding.

Wind turbine blades have to be replaced every 1,000 eagle kills.

It’s the law.
