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.
