The more I learn about these useless windmills, the more I realize they were the epitome of a "green energy" scam that Obama grifted to all of his donors.
Case in point, a blade fails over farmland, all of the crops, acres of crops, in the vicinity of the failed blade have to be destroyed due to microscopic plastic contamination.
There is nothing "clean" about these windfarm abominations.
Green energy is a scam: you always need to have the reliable fossil fuel/ nuclear plant to meet demand when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing. The production, and disposal of solar panels and windmills is anything but environmentally friendly, also the footprint that these types of energy compared to fossil fuel/nuclear plants for what they can produce is not very green. The only green is the greenbacks the solar and wind people get from taxpayer subsidies.
The blades are made of fiberglass and wood. Acres of crops aren’t destroyed when a blade fails.
That said, the whole thing is a grift and the numbers only work for someone stupid enough the be a congressman.
My son after Maries (Iraqi Freedom) got a job with Transocean. He was originally in Louisianna for a while off shore but got moved to Seattle rig. Protestors in kayaks surrounded the rig. He laughed and said do they even realize those kayaks were made with petroleum?
