These windmills are killing birds and the blades break pretty often. They also need to be replaced every 20 years or so. Landfill nightmare because they are not bio-degradable or recyclable. Also they are eyesores. Where my Son lives in Indiana there are a bazillion of these.
Yes I don't like those things either. But like the coal industry it won't stay static. Engineering and development will probably evolve over time. Simply because It has too if wind wants to stay relevant.
IDK, 25 years ago all the mountain tops in California were covered in windmills. Most were tethered. I don't see any changes today. Wind is a nice dream, like solar. I'd rather use the land for growing food than creating energy. Same with corn, grow it for food not fuel.
I figured you might say that( I don't mean that to sound snarky). In fact i was gonna address it preemptively lol. Yes its true, turbines today are still very similar to the ones 25 years ago. But the political push, and money going into these types of things is nothing like before in terms of funding, and political push.
Because some politicians want it does not make it right.
Look into coal mining disasters... pushing the harm further up the supply chain doesn't make it any better, similar to how EVs charging from "dirty" power don't save the world at all.
Once people cared about our beautiful land, now their cluttering them up with wind mills, solar panels etc, which remove all beauty from our land and fields, just etc, not just the hazards they present.
Hello; That money is other people's money if my take is correct. It is not private investors spending their own money. It is taxpayers' monies in most all cases. let me be clearer. It is borrowed monies which add to the national debt.
