An observation from a Swedish engineer:
“The notion that a nation can run on sunshine and breezes is worse than delusional.
People might fall for the idea that we can merrily run on sunshine and breezes, alone, but with a few trillion dollars worth of mythical mega-batteries providing backup for a few minutes, when the sun sets and the wind stops blowing.
A two-megawatt w!ndmill is made up of 260 tons of steel that required 300 tons or iron ore and 170 tons of coking coal, all mined, transported and produced by hydrocarbons.
A w!ndmill could spin until it falls apart and never generate as much energy as was invested in building it.”

STAND UP AGAINST WIND TURBINES!

Your source conveniently leaves out the first part "At a good wind site, the energy payback day could be in three years or less..." The part you chose to parrot was referring to a windmill at a poorly selected site.
STAND UP FOR FACT-CHECKING BEFORE YOU POST MORE MISINFORMATION!
It would be nice if you included the reference.

I’ll give you a very relevant reference; “https://earthandhuman.org/cost-of-wind-energy/” Enjoy!
And, I don’t know about you, but, at least around here, I often see wind turbines not spinning …
Also see: “ https://www.wind-watch.org/news/2020/05/07/not-so-green-energy-hundreds-of-non-recyclable-fiberglass-wind-turbine-blades-are-pictured-piling-up-in-landfill/”
Interesting too!
