Building one wind turbine requires 900 tons of steel, 2,500 tons of concrete and 45 tons of plastic.

A single electric-car battery weighs about 1,000 pounds. Fabricating one requires digging up, moving and processing more than 500,000 pounds of raw materials somewhere on the planet.

I’ve reviewed the contracts for framers where they put these in. They agree at the end to take the concrete foundation down to 18 inches below soil level. I pointed out to the framers there isn’t gong to be any money for that at the end.
