they’re clean and green and free.
No, they are not. The true costs are exorbitant for intermittent power.
[For example, commercial wind turbine cost:
$2.6 – $4 million per average-sized commercial wind turbine
Typical cost is $1.3 million per megawatt (MW) of electricity-producing capacity
Most commercial wind turbines have a capacity of 2-3 MW, but offshore turbines can be as large as 16-18 MW
Cost increases as turbine size increases, though there are benefits to using fewer, larger turbines – complexity and construction of the overall farm site is greatly reduced with fewer and larger turbines.]
“Green” energy is an illusion, imho.
NONE OF THOSE NUMBERS INCLUDE PROPER DISPOSAL.......
