Lies lies lies, green energy is black.

I have been looking into wind turbines recently.

Ffs for something that is supposed to save the world the actual resources and carbon emissions such as the rebar for the concrete foundation’s, the mining for the concrete foundations, the amount of electricity as well as diesel used to produce components.

The manufacturing of the blades themselves as well as the carbon fibre and manufacturing of fibreglass and Kevlar, as well as the manufacturing of the resins needed to make the blades, seems not to be taken into account.

Also the components are usually made in Europe,the carbon emitted to transport these worldwide seems not to be considered.

Though the hilarious part of it all is the blades cannot be recycled so are used for furnace fuel to make concrete…..lol.

As the comedian said it’s all lies.

That took you long enough. It takes over 120 tons of coal to make each wind turbine. Not very clean at all.

Funny how no one tells anyone about that fact but it has been known for years.

I've been screaming this from every rooftop for about the past 15 years, ever since the first wind turbines started to blight the landscape in my home state of Wyoming.

"Green" energy is a ruse. It's only 'green' for the people selling all the wind turbines and other green garbage. Green in their wallets!

Plus, it gets even worse with wind power. The power distribution grids can't handle getting that power from where it's generated to where it is consumed. In fact, the grid is the exact opposite of this. It tapers down as the grid moves further away from population centers. So what do they do? They "park" the wind turbines (i.e. lock the blades so they don't spin). Can you say "hose job"? The American taxpayer got completely hosed by Obama and all his cronies. Green my ass!

And now, it's even worse than that. Now the turbines have been parked so long they're obsolete. So, even if you could distribute the power, the turbines would have to be replaced with new ones first because there's no spare parts available for the existing ones! Oh, and where are the companies who built all these damn things? Bueller?...Bueller? They all took the money and ran, so you can't even go after them.

Green energy is one of the biggest criminal enterprises ever perpetuated BY GOVERNMENT on the American taxpayer!

(Oh, and don't even get me started on Ethanol !! ATS doesn't have enough server space to contain my rant on that one!)

Don’t forget, they put these in areas that require destruction of land, out west they have to carve out mounting pads, roads, and power line tracts. Complete destruction to some beautiful/scenery land now destroyed by ugly wind turbines. Where are the tree huggers??? They destroy ecosystems, trees, and kill birds. The land will be scarred just like abandoned open pit mines.

I’ll drive by and see a group of hundreds, NOT one turning.

... Where are the tree huggers??? ...

They have selective vision because of their complete hypocrisy!! GRRRRRRRRR!
