"GREEN ENERGY" MYTH BUSTED - 50,000 tons of used wind turbine blades in the landfill

The only thing GREEN about green energy is the Benjamin's being stolen.

Lots and lots of green.

My electric bill has nearly tripled since Chocolate Jesus was selected.

Running water turbines in dams for 30 years is better
Ignorant asshole
Water turbnes are fully recyclable steel
Much more durable
Cheapest form of energy
The correct engineering solution as PROVEN for over a century

But.. .. that leaves no place for eco-fucks and their useless arts degrees...

I don't see this that way. What's wrong with calling out this?

Not to mention the products used to build these things along with their so-called carbon foot print to produce. Epoxy, fiber-glass, plastics and carbon fiber are not exactly growing on trees.

If people are going to take my cheeseburgers and steaks, they better damn well not pollute the land said cheeseburgers and steaks were raised on.

Use blades to build the wall!! Cut them in half then set the fuckers in concrete.

What the hell does a bullshit, absolutely meaningless
"carbon footprint analysis" have to do with practicality,
efficiency, conservation, environmental protection,
production, and positive promotion of human lives?

That is just more depopulation agenda bullshit.

How do you wear something out that only the wind touches. Seem more like the company who made them was making a lot more money by producing items they got paid for but the parts never used.
Wind farms seem to be 'sensitive', make them water-proof and put them where ocean currents can spin them (like all of Canada's Grand Banks) and the output year round would not vary much.

Strip mining is not cleaner then chemtrails. Fracking can produce localized earthquakes and the chemicals they use are poisonous and the process can also leach poisons already in the ground into drinking water and aquifers.

Does Fracking Cause Earthquakes? Hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking,” (a drilling process that injects millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals under high pressure into a well, cracking the rock and to release natural gas and oil) has only been known to rarely cause earthquakes.

Other than Nuclear I am not against most energy producing. They are a necessary evil but they all pollute.

Nuclear sounds great but I do not trust the profitability of a company to do what is right. Profitability always overrules safety until some agency steps in. Which is unfortunate because I despise big government.

The $200,000 it takes to decommission a $4,000,000 tower should be factored into the complete ROI but that still does not detract that wind can be profitable.

They are looking into recycling wind turbines for concrete strenthening. All is not lost.

How else would you suggest we quantify the risk vs benefits of various energy producing mechanisms?

Just saying "wind turbines cause waste therefore let's not use them" is not a valid analysis.

It's great to be aware of the waste that is generated. We should look into it and optimize their implementation. But let's not lose sight of the overall benefit of clean energy initiatives.

because you dont hear the real costs

Its funny every time i drive through a wind mill farm half of them are not turning and looks like most of them are broken ...

As Oil or some lube or something is pouring out the moters...


Then you have the killings of millions of birds and thousands of bats...

And even if the wind is blowing hard ,like i said half of them are not spinning ..

And i think its near 22 cents a kw ...While Coal last i looked is near 7 cents ...

Big Differene...

I mean if we are all WIND power,We will ..ALL BE POOR...As Electric will be double....

GO WIND..YAY...

HA..

and solar doesn't kill migrating birds and create an ugly blight to look at

we have a new "windfarm" nearby that is so huge it shows up on doppler radar from 100 miles away

It's an article about wind farms and your title makes a broad statement about "green energy"you have a bias and an agenda. Fuck you

save the environment=
ruin the world

Water turbines is green energy you moron

Build the wall.

How much energy does it create for you ?

How big is it? And what was the price to have it installed ?

I don't give a shit about birds...

Hydro, for sure, coal, not so much. Gas I can't say because I don't know it well. But I would assume that anything that burns can and will generate some sort of waste.

The only environmental impact of hydro power, is flooded areas, which can be minimized: Instead of one big hydro power plant, several medium/small ones

Evidemmment, mais tu es Belge et sent le besoin de dire ce qui est evident a tous.

Imbecile

I don't like green. I like white. White energy/power is best.

You called me an asshole for stating the obvious, so maybe you are the one who has an issue.

When they destroy the world and the grid is gone you will be using Solar and Wind to power your homes. It is one of the only DIY energy sources you can use.

Hydo can kill fish and affect fish reproduction.

It's not a good look for wind turbines, but it's hardly busting the "green energy" myth. There are still ways to produce energy in a more environmentally friendly way than burning fossil fuels.

Wind energy was already used in Antiquity, it doesn't get more renewable than that.

I mean unless you are a moron like Trump who thinks wind turbines are "slowing the wind" and causing cancer. But then you are hopeless

I built the generator pole from water pipe, telescoping it from 4" to 2" to mount the 700 watt marine windmill...I went 70' in the air and used aircraft cable guy wires...

I think I paid $600 for the generator and two sets of carbon fiber blades...
