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.
nothing more environmentally friendly than giant turbine blades that require massive trucks to pull one of at a time and that have a short lifespan.
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.
