Tehachapi Pass destroyed by 6400 Wind Turbines and counting!

And how many coal mining disasters in the last twenty years? What was the death toll for those? And how many natural gas explosions in the same period? Death toll for those? How about oil platform fires, refinery fires, and pipeling explosions and fires?

And during this time, how about the death toll for PV installations? Fires and other disasters for the same?

I think civilization is wonderful! Why do you want to become a hunter gather?

Why do you lie and make things up?

I was a hunter she a gatherer; it was a good thing.

Then she discovered what wind-generated electricity can do for a girl's comfort, and we have been building wind mills all week then visiting Ikea and R. C. Willys every weekend.

Cars replaced horses.

Oil is not used to produce electricity, so how would Wind Turbines replace Oil? Its that simple, really.

Wind Power is older than Oil, not new, you even get that backwards.

Oil is used to produce 1% of U.S. electricity- in addition- every electrical generation plant uses lubrication oil- just as wind mills do- just lots more of it.

How many gallons of oil does a typical coal fired plant use? Or how many gallons of lubricating oil does San Onofre use each year?

Yes, how much, how much coal is used to produce the steel in a Wind Tower, how much did these Wind Towers increase the use of Coal?

And San Onofre uses zero oil. It is shutdown for good, much of which was politics, to make Wind Turbines look good.

How can you possibly post like you speak of what you know, and make such a glaring error. San Onofre has been shutdown for years. Unit 1 is no even there, completely dismantled and shipped away.

Stupidity should be painful...

The average wind mill has to be replaced every 4 years... Within 25 years all of these will be rusting monuments to stupidity..

And you are one fucked up little liar, Billy Boob.

Wind Turbines

A modern wind turbines will be designed to work for 120 000 hours throughout their estimated life-span of 20 years. This would be the turbine operating for approximately 66% of the time for two decades. This is far more than modern car engine which is built to last for 4 000 to 6 000 hours of use. This equates to an average of 49 minutes driving a day over the same two decades.

Operation and Maintenance Costs

From experience, the maintenance costs of a new turbine will be very low but as the turbine ages these costs will increase.

Studies done in Denmark on the 5000 wind turbines installed in the country since 1975 has demonstrated that each new generations of turbines has had lower repair and maintenance costs than the previous generation. (The studies compared wind turbines which were built and erected at approximately the same time, but which belong to different technological generations).

Older wind turbines have an annual maintenance cost are on average 3% of the original cost of the turbine. Because newer turbines are usually quite substantially larger you get an economy of scale, lower maintenance costs per kW of rated power. This is simply because you do not need to service a large turbine any more often than a small one. Couple this with the constant development of new materials and techniques and you will make savings on the maintenance costs. For modern machines the estimated maintenance costs are in the range of 1.5% to 2% of the original investment per annum.

Liar, no Wind Turbine lasts 20 years without maintenance, without repair, just cause Google links to someone who says so, does not make it so.

It is easy to see who is full of crap, knows science, technology, and or mechanics and engineering, it is certainly not you Old Crock, and all you other fools, you can not even admit that there are Wind Turbine repairs, let alone failures, the perfect technology, you just need to build a 1,000,000 a year, forever.

Yes, the increased use of Oil and Coal to produce millions of solar and wind farms decimates the environment.

Your article is pure bullshit, it does not even qualify as propaganda, its opinion, nothing more.

How about a real article from someone reputable.

Just because its found on google does not make it right, pervert!

Your article. You are as silly as the guy from NC who was here and would post articles that would hang him. You need to read what you are posting.

I recently passed through the beautiful Tehachapi Pass, it is in Southern California, separating the majestic San Gabriel mountains from the southern end of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, its hard not to state that the wild nature of the pass has not been industrialized by the over burden of failing wind turbines, failing because there is never enough, we must build them forever, destroying the environment, to save it.

This is just one picture I took while driving, I could take dozens, the Wind Turbines continue for miles, these are just what is seen from the freeway on the first ridgeline, I wonder how many more are in back that we can not see.

To save the Environment we must destroy the Environment.

What a damn shame..........the hideous footprints of the human racists are starting to be seen in the most beautiful places on earth!!

Elektra.......not sure if you knew but for decades, this area is one of the most popular in the world for train watchers to go...........millions of pics to check out on the internet with gorgeous scenery. Until now............very disturbing.

Of course, the human racists in here hate the trains too!!!

 

[JakeStarkey]

Yet you far righties love the smell of petroleum in the morning and gas rigs on the horizon.

You are just yelling.

 

[skookerasbil]

So Elektra is demanding total environment purity, meaning we'll all have to live in caves.

No thanks. I like electricity.

Elektra is only against electricity if it is from a source that the Koch Brothers are also against.

Oh Gawd...........another PC zombie has entered the ENVIRONMENT forum!!!

Indeed we do.

For people with real responsibilities in life, we prefer our electric bills NOT to resemble a Mercedes Benz car payment thanks!!!

 

[Skull Pilot]

Let's not forget that windmills on average only produce 30% of their nominal power output.
