How much energy is used to design and manufacture a wind turbine?
yeah the amount of carbon dioxide sent into the atmosphere making one of these things is going to be a lot , they never mention that and i dont think this is about cash. it isn’t going to pay back for 10 years in terms of the amount of carbon emissions it saves from coal protestations i was told this by a university lecturer , i dint know how he knows this but he also mentioned that there are tidal power stations that are much greener but with currant technology they dont produce enough power if we dont reduce carbon emissions by 100% in 20 years the climate will change forever destroying the rainforest’s polar ice caps and coral reefs so those wind turbines could be a source of power even when there is a very small population left they could help us repopulate in a mad max scenario.
