A two-megawatt wind turbine weighs about 250 tonnes, including the tower, nacelle, rotor and blades. Globally, it takes about half a tonne of coal to make a tonne of steel. Add another 25 tonnes of coal for making the cement and you’re talking 150 tonnes of coal per turbine. Now if we are to build 350,000 wind turbines a year (or a smaller number of bigger ones), just to keep up with increasing energy demand, that will require 50 million tonnes of coal a year. That’s about half the EU’s hard coal–mining output

1. You're assuming the whole thing is made of steel......Incorrect
2. You assume all the energy to make said steel will be from coal.........Incorrect
3. You accept all the conclusions of a biased site without question..........typical

I have said repeatedly that the world is going to go to renewables. Non renewable energy is finite and will eventually run out.

We have 2 choices. We can lead the charge and "Make America Great Again" or we can let someone else do so and the class of 2050 will be fluent in Chinese because they have been taking it since 2nd grade.

It's our choice.

By the way, I totally agree that we need more nuclear. Fusion (yes it IS possible) will solve a hell of a lot of problems.

I assumed nothing. I posted an interesting article. Perhaps you'd like to comment on the article?

I WAS commenting on the article genius.

Maybe you didn't read it yourself

I see. So you and you're are just names for "the article". How sweet you personalized it. And "typical" was in reference to the blogger you'd never read before. What a dick. At least own up to your dickheadness.

and carbon fibre

Wind power is helping Scotland avoid 'over a million tonnes of carbon emissions a month'
Best i can find after a quick googlers we generate annually 35- 40% of all energy needs from wind now. And over 100% on stormy days. Oh i wll show you how windy it can be in scotland..two tics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_oFPF6Anwo

Coal mining, extraction of coal, processing, shipping it etc did not factor into your fuking garbage article on account of it being a garbage fuking article – what I read of it it was completely inept and false

Can anyone guess what orange lying fuk president got thrashed thrice by the Scottish courts and supreme court regarding planning and construction of a wind farm offshore – near one of his golf courses Donald Trump vows lawsuit as Scottish Government approves wind farm "Political decision" ahahaha and yes he got thrashed 3 times in our courts.

Scotland set two new wind power records at the end of December, according to data released by WWF Scotland.

Analysis by the environmental group of data provided by WeatherEnergy found that wind turbines in Scotland generated power equivalent to all of the nation’s electricity needs for a record four straight days – on 23, 24, 25, and 26 December.

Although wind turbines have previously generated more power than needed in a single day in Scotland, this is the first time that such has been recorded on consecutive days.

The same four-day period also saw a new record set for the most amount of wind-generated power in a single day – on Christmas Eve – with 74,042MWh of electricity sent to the National Grid.

As total electricity demand on Christmas Eve was 56,089MWh it meant that wind turbines generated the equivalent of 132% of Scotland’s total electricity needs that day, according to the analysis.

However, the proportion of Scotland’s total power needs that could have been met by wind on Christmas Day was even greater - equivalent to 153% of total electricity demand. This was because, although output from wind turbines on Christmas Day was slightly less that generated on Christmas Eve at 70,002Mh, total electricity demand was also much lower at 45,756MWh.

I think china now as 55 gigawatts maxcapacity. of that, and obviously it wont be all of 55Gigawatts, is enough to power 27 million homes - my memory a bit hazy sometimes but that seems about right and they are looking to further increase capacity- the problem they have is their coal fired plants get priority to their grids
