so every turbine has Oil lots of it ? How will they run without oil , render people down after extermination ?
The best lubricating oils on earth are PAO oils. Mobil One was a fully PAO oil until the 2000s when Castrol won their lawsuit and Exxon switched to vizbreaker and hydrogenated oils since synthetic oil is a marketing term in the USA now and not a legal chemical description like the EU.
Ok so what’s the point. PAO oils have the largest range of viscosity index of any oils, the largest range of temperature stability, and the lowest sludge factors. Exxon used to make their PAO base stocks with...wait for it....ETHANOL which is one molecule away from ethylene which is one alpha bonded C=C bond from an alpha olefin which when polymerized forms poly-alpha olefins the best oils on the planet. Sophomore chemistry lesson over for the day. Exxon produced PAO by the hundreds of thousands of gallons from industrial ethanol they could just as easily do it again.
Calling wind turbines “green” is a huge hoax and prank being pulled on the enviro-weenies. The manufacture and construction of the towers, transformers and gearboxes that convert the wind flow into alternating electricity may be engineering marvels, but they are ultimately monuments to unreliability, and are a huge boondoggle in terms of the number of kWHs of electrical energy actually distributed on the electric grid. For every kWH these windmill towers are calculated to produce, an equivalent number of hydrocarbon-fueled generators have to be standing by for those times when the wind fails, or equipment failures take the wind turbine offline. Just dispense with the windmill towers and solar panels altogether, and go back to the hydrocarbon-fueled power generation systems, cutting out the expense of even erecting the towers or building the solar farms to begin with.
Now, you want cheap, reliable, baseline power, that runs 24/7/365 year after year, go to some form of nuclear. The uranium-fueled light water reactors are technology that was new in maybe 1960, but there are better alternatives now tested and proven on a smaller scale, that can replace the uranium-fueled light water reactors, and do it even cheaper, faster, and with NO chance of core meltdown, or storage of the “spent” fuel rods for maybe 10,000 years until radioactivity dies down to tolerable levels.
The thorium-fueled molten salt reactors were developed as an alternative, and have been shown to be feasible. The fuel, thorium, is much more available than uranium, and the spent fuel residue is of much smaller volume and toxicity than the “spent” uranium fuel rods, which still contain some 97% of their potential energy. In fact, to initiate the chain reaction in a thorium atomic pile, the molten salt has to be “seeded” with a small amount of this “spent” fuel rod material, eventually using up all the “spent” uranium fuel rods, ending the need to keep it in storage for extended periods of time.
