These people are crazy
In the real world, not so much.
And the “environmental impact” is nil??? Not likely.
What happens when the wind isn’t blowing?
What happens when it is blowing too hard?
No mention of the cost of production, Zero mention of what battery source they are going to use, Zero mention of Storm damage and Zero mention of what are they going to do when the wind does not blow...
What a crock of cr*p sales promotion for something everyone knows will never reach it’s intended output 24/7

Read up on the minerals to build the turbines and where it comes from. Then read up on what happens to the blades when they are at the end of their life. Then look at the number of rare birds killed by wind turbines.
And finally what do you do for power when the wind isn’t blowing?
GE is owned by the Chinese.. Does that mean we actually subsidize the chincoms..??
Wind turbine fans are cauding a HUGE landfill problem. They are damn near indestructable but so far not reusable as not fitting new designs.
What will they do eith thoysand foot blades in the long run?
Typical lefties - cannot see past the end of their noses.
So, if you have two identical fields, one with wind turbines, and one without them, and a 30 mph wind enters those fields, what happens to the wind leaving the field with the windmills? It loses energy, doesn’t it? Doesn’t it? And the downwind terrain will become?... Warmer or cooler or the same?...Anyone?...Bueller?... ....And how in the name of ALMIGHTY SCIENCE does that NOT alter the climate? HOW does that NOT result in permanent changes to weather patterns?
And just where the hell do you put the used fiberglass blades when you have to replace them after 10 or 15 years?
And what do you do about all the birds that are killed by these freaking monstrosities?
And why do we have to be chained to the most expensive means of producing electricity known to man?
Windmills suck.
Bumper sticker, please...
> A single one will be able to turn out 13 megawatts of power, enough to light up a town of roughly 12,000 homes. <
I just did a heavy mathematical analysis of that turbine. I used abstract algebra and a calculator with lots of big buttons.
The shocking result: If there is no wind, this turbine will turn out 0 megawatts of power. Then it will light up 0 homes.
(Where do I go to get a government grant to study this further?)
Hope they don’t put that thing in hurricane country!!
It will be spectacular to watch one of these monsters self-destruct.

Won't they look lovely. Put one next to Stonehenge or maybe in Paris. How about the Vatican square? BTW, what ever happened to small local thorium reactors?

Even bigger blades for the landfill!
what a friggin boondoggle.
How many friends and family of the government class will retire from the money they received from this?
later
They probably never mention that these gargantuan windmills need to be connected to the grid to power generators that constantly slowly spin the turbine in light wind so gravity doesn’t warp the shaft.
I believe some also use electric deicing heaters. Other use deicing fluid applied with fossil fuel powered helicopters.
What is the wind speed for optimal generation? I know of one that requires constant 25 mph wind.
What is the payback period for the total investment in a single turbine?
What is the life expectancy for a turbine of this design.
Current designs, those numbers 21 years and 20 years, so it's a complete failure.
Disposal of normal wind blades is extremely difficult - these will be flat out impossible - no use for worn out blades, not cost effective to break up, and must be buried whole.
Trust wacko environmentalist to come up with ever larger fails
And here I thought they’d be smart enough to use a cylindrical fan design.
Yeah....right.
First big storm will take that thing out.
