“They claim 6-8 months for regular wind turbines here in the Pacific Northwest.”
Is that plausible?
Yes - with massive taxpayer subsidies...
Otherwise not so much...
Only with a huge government subsidy
Windfarms are leftist investment sumps.
wealthy people get together in a consortium, get government to pony up to build the windmills after taking over peasant land and ruining local property values, then though laws in place force local power companies to purchase power generated. Whether they need it or not. So the taxpayer gets hit twice, in the building of the boondoggle and in their power rates.
