How many gallons of oil does it take to lubricate one large wind generator?
I’ve seen numbers of 700-800. Needs to be replaced every year.
Years ago a local newspaper put up a small (but expensive) windmill to show solidarity with the green movement. They discovered it was costing them thousands AND they were saving pennies a month. Yes, 'pennies' a month. It was put up with much coverage and taken down with hardly a whimper...

The source that I consulted says each turbine requires 80 gallons of high tech synthetic crude based oil. A turbine farm consisting of 50 turbines would need 4,000 gallons, and the oil has to be changed annually.

I’ve read that these windmills overall never make back the money that they cost over their lifetime. Add the cost of disposal to that. But hey..when they’re sitting there doing nothing just think how much longer they last.
Might as well use a magic spell, which is just short of most leftist’s ideology.
