And to do this they have to cut down living CO2-consuming trees and use oil to produce the synthetics in the cushions.
Next will be to create housing for the homeless using decommissioned turbine blades.
They cause global warming - the very thing fraudulent libtard claim they’re supposed to save us from

An article designed to increase stupidity so conservatives make fools of themselves? There are legitimate reasons why our energy will never be principally derived from wind energy, but the people who don’t want us developing our own oil, gas and coal are the same people who don’t want us finding means of at least partially replacing our reliance on them: OPEC. And this sort is sort of fale concern for the environment only helps the sand nazis take over the world.
“Wait… weren’t we supposedly doing all of this to reduce carbon?”
Uh, no. the amount of carbon is relatively fixed. We’re trying to reduce carbon dioxide in the air, not carbon in the ocean floor.
“A recent British ornithology report found a decrease of five percent in the seabird populations in the region of the larger wind farms. And that’s not even counting the ones that are chopped up when they fly into the turbines.”
Uh, no. That’s exactly the sort of thing which impacts the study results.
“When they go out of service, they can either be left there to rust away or be taken down. But the material used to create the massive blades on the turbines is not recyclable. It’s estimated that after the new, proposed American offshore wind farms are retired, America will have hundreds of thousands of tons of those blades to dispose of. Where will we put them all?”
Oh, I don’t know what do we do with the other hundreds of MILLIONS of tons of rusty iron we produce? Oh, yeah... For starters, the blades aren’t recyclable in the sense of being reusable, but the iron sure as hell is recoverable.
Look, it’s this simple. The same folks who don’t want using our own oil and coal also don’t want us developing replacements for them: OPEC.
30 million acres Gulf of Mexico to be used. WooHoo!
Don’t they make biodegradable blades now?
Each windmill can be compared to an anti-compressor or expander. The air pushing the windmill blades performs work in order to create electricity and the wind turbine acts as an anti-compressor and, theoretically, the air downstream of the turbine should be lower than air temperature upstream, ever so slightly. The air performs work which is converted into electricity and there must therefore be a temperature drop. C’mon y’all freeperphysicysts help me out thermodynamically and tell me that I am not bullsh*tting. Work is done by the air on the windturbine which nust result in an air temperature drop as per First Law. We cannot create electricity from moving air without a change in temp and press. Environmentalists better realize it. These very changes may just adversely affect the climate if the farms are large enough. Sorry if I busted Greta’s balloon. My advice: Drill baby, drill. C’mon baby, light my fire.
And again, the windmill blades fiberglass and carbon fiber components CAN be recycled via grinding and TDP.
They cannot be recycled at no cost, and the recycling yields OIL!
Basically the resins are returned to their original form before being made into resins.
TDP is not as efficient as originally hoped but it is a proven tech.
It can also be utilized to nearly eliminate land-fill operations but would require subsidies.
Funny that, I have to pay a fee to use a landfill, there is no rational reason that fee is not going to operate TDP.
Oh wait, the pay-off’s and grift of the land-fill industry are well established and sacrosanct.
And to do this they have to cut down living CO2-consuming trees and use oil to produce the synthetics in the cushions.
Next will be to create housing for the homeless using decommissioned turbine blades.
Not to mention that it will be very expensive to remove these defunct blades and towers.
If the economy is faltering in 20 years, who will budget for wind turbine removal? Nobody.
They will stand as eyesores, until they fall, and become hazards to navigation.
A testimony to man’s folly.
I have also read that low frequency pulses induced into the water screw up the sonar used by wales.
The stupidest thing about windfarms (IMHO) is that when winter weather is at its worst, high winds and/or heavy icing, they HAVE TO be shut down as AN ACT OF SELF-PRESERVATION. Because high-speed winds over-spinning the fan would wreck its innards, and an uneven accumulation of ice (or uneven shedding) would cause the fan to self-destruct, probably wrenching out the generator as it goes.
So when the going gets tough, the windmills get ... shut down.
