Check the names on the posts. I just pointed out that your hostility and denigration of the other poster's source was silly. I'm not relying on Jenn for anything and didn't user her as a source for anything.
I do rely on the word of electrical engineers I work with though. They tell me that windmills contribute absolutely nothing, even when they are functional, because spinning reserve always has to be on line for when the wind wanes, which it does all the time. The fuel needed to keep the spinning reserve generators going and turning them on and off all the time is as much or more than if they were just running full time. The windmills contribute nothing at all when they are apparently working. So arguments about gear box lube are beside the point any. All that really matters is that wind power is a joke and a scam.
Whatever.
Hearsay.
Machine Design magazine (a trade pub for engrs) has run several editorials pointing out the shortcomings of wind turbines.
There’s starting to be plenty of non-political criticism of windmills.
But they’re part of “crony capitalism” (GE, etc) so difficult to stop.
