![Oil Ice Wind Power [320x302 - 15KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/jjUtjH.jpg){kind=link}
How much energy is the windmill expected to generate? If it's more than the fuel, then so what? Nothing's perfect. Energy is energy. Don't hate on it just because some oil baron is brainwashing you.
We could cover every sqft of the surface of the earth with solar panels and it would still be less power than we currently use at todays consumption rates. Wind power is not much better and is much more maintenance intensive. No one has studied what the effect of sucking gigawatts of power out of the environment actually does in the long term at scale. So once they start transitioning everything and phasing out fossile fuel i expect places downstream of these megalith wind and solar farms to start turning into tundras and deserts as the rain cycle and wind patterns become drastically altered from having huge amounts of energy sucked out of those systems. TLDR; there is no such thing as a free lunch.
actually, we can cover just half of arizona with solar panels, and have energy independence.... lol.
Jesus Christ dude. Nobody is talking about covering your mom's weedy trailer park yard in solar panels.
You fucking retards assume there can ONLY BE ONE ENERGY SOURCE AND WE MUST GET RID OF ALL OTHERS!
I never said that. All I'm talking about is how much a windmill generates. We aren't saving the fucking world here. Is the power generated by the windmill more than would be generated if that windmill wasn't there? Is the net energy produced over it's lifetime more than the energy that went into it plus it's upkeep? If so, then it's probably a good thing.
But you are stuck in retard mode. "Hrr Drr <insert retarded talking point here>"
It's not a sports team dude. It's energy.
