It's pretty darn sad when someone cheers the failure of renewable energy. But these boards are full of these folks.
First of all, renewable energy stabilizes our energy independence. Now doesn't being energy independent. actually strengthen the United States?
Secondly, taking in all of the accidents by the providers of fossil fuel energy, which has been in operation for several decades, what's the difference? The author of this OP completely ignores all the costs of all the misfortunes by the fossil fuel sector but goes full throttle pointing fingers at renewable energy. That's pretty small thinking..
The world is moving forward in making renewable energy part of the long-term plan of having an infinity of options for energy resources. This is a good idea as it enhances future generations with endless resources of energy.
Cheer? Why come into this thread and make stuff up?
Renewable Energy, that is a canard. Wind Turbines that last about 10 years are hardly renewable, Wind Turbines that use 270 Tons of raw materials in the manufacture can hardly be called Green, not when the output is around 300 kwh, if that.
Renewable stabilizes our energy independence, how? By using more of everything faster to produce less? Wind Turbines output varies considerably within 1 hour of time, as the wind is constantly changing, that is stable?
Yes, lets consider that to build the World's largest Wind Farm (that produces very little electricity) takes the World's Largest amount of Oil, the largest amount of Fossil Fuel, hence the accidents you speak are a direct cause of the increase in consumption that Wind Turbines require. The demand of Wind Turbines for the most raw materials ever put into a "Power Plant" is part of the reason we have accidents at Fossil Fuel plants.
I ignore Fossil Fuel? Now you are just babbling wildly, this is simply a thread about Wind Turbines Massive Failures. Funny how people must defend their ideology by constantly attacking the very industry that makes "Green" "Renewable" energy possible. How do you propose fixing these Massive Failures without Fossil Fuels. Until you can answer that question truthfully you are a hypocrite.
Small thinking, you have made assumptions here you can not support, you have made assumptions of me with zero knowledge of the many posts and threads I have created.
The World is moving forward in Renewable Energy, really, even Spain and Germany? Even in Denmark? Those countries would disagree.
Renewable Energy is failing everywhere we look, 100's of billions of dollars has been wasted, and you call that success? Most likely we already spent a trillion dollars, we just dump the money on these things, and that is called success.
It enhances future generations providing endless energy? Really, all these broken Wind Turbines are providing energy? Wind turbines do not last forever, they last about 10 years, if that, with constant maintenance, 5 barrels of oil just to lubricate them. Hardly lasting 10 years is forever?
The only thing Endless is the need for money to keep these things working.
What a waste of Copper, to sit in a field doing nothing for 70% of everyday, that same copper used in a nuclear power plant will provide energy 500 days straight without ever breaking down, without stopping for maintenance.
Small thinking indeed, to use all that raw material for something that barely works in comparison to all other forms of energy production.
