Is there supposed to be a manufactured energy source that isn't supposed to use materials like concrete or petrol to be built and maintained? Why is concrete such a big deal?
Concrete uses huge amounts of energy to produce. It's also apparently one of the biggest man-made CO2 sources.
Most of it also has to he poured deep into the earth to keep the turbines stable. It's so hard to remove once the turbine's lifespan is over that they often just leave it in the ground.
Basically it's everything that the very same people who push for wind energy campaign against all day. It's concentrated, rock-hard hypocrisy.
Okay so does the amount of concrete used in wind turbine production increase the CO2 usage compared to production of an additional coal/oil power plant? Or overall is the pollution lessened?
Don't forget about all the petrol that has to be used to keep everything lubricated!
Or the insane amount of concrete for foundations and the tower.

If you take them at their word it is. Truthfully their just campaigning against government not having complete control over the people.
Does the amount of concrete used in wind turbines create more pollution than current traditional methods of energy production overall?
