That’s one hell of a sea bird chopper.
I wonder what the speed at the point of the blade can reach?
Wow! That will kill a lot of sea gulls!
So, how much do these cost and what percentage would they be “off grid” (I.e., not spinning)?
Well at least the fish will get fed a new source of protein from birds. Wonder how well those big blades will do with lightening strikes and fierce storms.
China is beating us in nearly every technology. 10-15 years from now we will be their slaves.
And when they are done, you have to chop up the blades and bury them in the sand.
Hazardous materials.
Non-recyclable.,
Nut it’s guh-reeeeeen!!!!1
Someone please tell me what one does with the turbine blades after their useful life span. My understanding is that they cannot be recycled or reused, they can only bury them in large pits where they will stay for thousands of years, but hey, it’s “clean energy”, right?
“...capable of powering 20,000 homes per unit over a 25-year service life.”
Wouldn’t bet my life on that.
Wouldn’t even bet a good hamburger.
There are dozens around Lansing, MI and they are an eyesore.
How much noise does this pile of Obama make ?
Wouldn’t it take tremendous amounts of wind to get that thing going?
And it plays “The East is Red” as it spins.
How big is the concrete and steel footing for this thing , as big as an apartment building ?
I knew MingYang’s brother Ying
What the heck are we gonna do when these things start slowing the rotation of the earth? A day could last 48 hours ! Its gonna get mighty hot during the da6t and mighty cold at night..
Commanche peak nuclear plant is 2.4 gigawatts.
Wind a solar is a commie plot to make electricity expensive and scarce.
That’s pulling a lot of energy out of the atmosphere. I wonder how much they contribute to climate change? He he he. Takes lots of oil to build and maintain those.
Its a big blade, but only produces half the year. So it sits idle for days and days because no useful wind!
No one knows this. By the way, 50% capacity factor is a great wind deal!
China lies, so their claims are suspect.
Each single blade is 87' longer than a football field! The last that I heard was the the 'Wind Industry' is trying to figure out how to recycle / dispose of these blades after a 15-20 year use cycle. Unreal!
