>>7895010>But nah, those turbines are "useless"Modern wind turbines are fairly useless though, and are not anywhere near as green as some people/groups like to pretend they are.
They're actually comparatively expensive to build/maintain/repair using materials and construction methods that are very definitely NOT green at all; they're also woefully under-productive in terms of power to the point that to make any kind of appreciable difference to a nations power supply you have to build literally tens or hundreds of thousands of turbines and also build somewhere/someway to store any excess energy produced so it can be released on demand as required, thus it would actually take a very long time for the turbines to produce enough green energy to offset the energy used to make the turbines in the first place, which is of course a paradoxical situation because the more turbines you build the more energy you use which means you need to build more turbines to offset that energy usage, and so on, and if you're using all the energy produced to offset the building of more and more turbines that's less and less energy available to the people who actually need it; and of course the turbines can't be used if there's too much wind (a bit of an issue in the Netherlands for example) or the turbines might break/catch fire.
This is why mass-adopters of supposedly green energy production in places like Netherlands, Germany, California, Texas, etc. have all been very quickly finding out the hard way that these green systems are nowhere near capable of meeting the needs of their modern populations and so they are increasingly suffering from rolling brownouts and even occasional blackouts as their power grids can't even keep up with even normal demand much less produce any meaningful spare power for peaks in usage.
But that's the green energy sectors dirty little secret they don't want people to know about.
