You do have to add in construction costs and then amortize that over the life of the structure to see if it saves you money over digging up and burning that much coal. But even with that, this is likely a $ win.

WOAH THAT IS LIKE WAYYYYYYY AWESOME ......WE HAVE TO GET MORE OF THOSE UP AND I SAY USE MORE SOLAR TOO :)

💪

Meanwhile, an orange idiot is scared of them and is using taxpayer dollars to quash them.

and loser trump digs COAL

I was really hoping they had placed that in clear sight of Trumpy's Scottish golf course.

Pedolf persuaded companies who were installing turbines to accept a payment of $765 million to stop work on several projects. Instead they will make their investment in fossil fuel energy systems. It makes little sense.. www.utilitydive.com/news/trump-a...

Trump administration buys out 4 more offshore wind leases for $765MInvenergy will redirect the funds toward natural gas plants in Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas and Missouri as well as geothermal projects, the U.S. Department of the Interior said.www.utilitydive.com

How much gasoline does the 45K truckloads consume? How much tire rubber? How much pavement and road tar destroyed? The "double ups" are endless.

So basically a drop in the bucket for actual energy needs, even over its lifetime. I'm all for renewables but your statement is not the slam dunk you think it is

There is a proof of concept wave energy that is cheaper to install and doubles that output. mymodernmet.ru/sea-wave-ene...

Coal? Who burns coal much any longer? A fairer comparison is oil or gas, bc working "Fossil Fuels", I never encountered Coal Workers, bc it's not "polite". The rest of the industry considers them F'in whores bc coal is more expensive to: 1) mine, 2) transport, 3) burn, 4) dispose of the toxic ash.

It’s about wealth and who controls it and who is bought to help control it. Always has been as this country’s history proves. People just need to come to the realization that unregulated capitalism is nothing short of piracy

Oh, but the birds?!?! 🤣🤣🤣 Such a silly, non-serious argument. Call me socialist, call me crazy and I’ll call you what P.T. Barnum did, “There’s a sucker born every minute.” I believe the figure is much higher today, thanks Fox News.

For context, the UK demand is is currently 33.3GW, so the windmill, at best, is less than 1/1000 of that, but of course the wind doesn't always blow. Nuclear is tried and tested, and it works 24/7.

Imagine that in the yard of white house, or mara a largeo

That is so much common sense...

Too bad it is in China Meanwhile, the US government has stopped all projects that would put up wind turbines

Cool. I’d like to see 44,118 truck loads and trucks sink and become reefs.

How many whales per turbine

Wow That’s the only future Renewables

Imagine being up close to it

I do understand there's a non-linear scale effect, so twice as big is more than 2x more efficient.

MAGAT - "BUT THE BIRDS AND CANCER.". GBA

Only way it could be better is if it were anchored off Mar a Lardo

Yes, but... the Orange Oaf thinks wind causes CANCER!! And the pitiful Congress says NOTHING!! @houserepublicans.bsky.social @senate-gop.bsky.social 💩

And no pollution

Didn't the US just pay a company a couple billion dollars not to build wind turbines?

That’s awesome. That’s the future. And no reason to suspect that is the limit of capacity. I remember Beatrice being 5mw turbines (I think), which was considered massive at the time.

OMG .. the last time I checked the largest was 14Mw ! Its so hard to keep up with renewables !

Hence the blowback from fossil fuel companie and their puppet politicians.

In the UK we pay gas prices for wind energy. Someone is making a lot of money (and infrastructure is being invested in) but I'm not saving shit.

That’s ok billionaires will figure out how to make it cost as much as coal so their profits don’t “suffer” at the hands of your saving. Hell they might make it more expensive.

Ehhh, my opinion is that these are heavily reliant upon the fossil fuel industry through maintenance, lubricants, transport for building, horrendous need for space which grows by exponent per MWh… and that Solar is much much less reliant on fossil energy and the issues above.

Yes but have you considered that it’s also 8x more woke and less manly?
