Now that is a crock, recycled metal? You had zero idea that coke was used to make steel. I could go into the copper smelting, the aluminum, the high quality steel alloy used for the many tons required for the bearings and bushing.Increasing the production of steel, aluminum, copper, silica, fiberglass, cement, etc., to build the the World's Largest Wind Turbines and Solar Plants does not increase the use of Coal or Oil?Repeating lies don't make them true. But then, you knew that.
The amount of power it generates when we are comparing Solar and Wind to Fossil Fuel power generation is irrelevant?
And you claim you studied Science for 9 years? Did you pass and graduate?
Not so much coal since a lot of metal is recycled, and using oil to make components is a much better use of the resource than burning it. The amount of power it generates is irrelevant to the industry's safety record (which is the issue you brought up), which by OSHA standards, is very good.
You simply make things up without any knowledge of what you speak.
Coke is used to make the steel for wind turbines, of course with all the towers collapsing and the greed of rushing these to production to get rich off the subsidies, I guess the wind turbines used substandard recycled steel.
I am a geologist who knows a lot about raw ore, a lot more than you do. Steel production in the U.S. is dominated by the use of recycled metal. In fact, steel produced from recycled metal contains 92% recyclables. Which means that only 8% of it comes from ore, and so only that 8% needs coal to extract the metal from the ore. The rest is simply melted and reused.
