Incredible Biggest Wind Turbine Farm Installation Technology.

If there's an argument to choose solar over wind, this video captures it. Converting wind energy into electrical power is incredibly labor and resource intensive, requires many moving parts with associated maintenance, and is extremely complicated. Compare to solar: install panels, wire inverters and batteries, wash panels once or twice a year, replace in 20 years or so. Nevertheless, it is a fascinating video! All of the energy and resource, most non-renewable, for each wind turbine. I wonder just how much they actually are worth it in the long run. Because in a few years, they will have to be taken down and transported to a landfill. “I know it’s a waste of money when you add up the carbon footprint of all that steel and concrete, the stress it places on the grid with its unpredictable output and it’s short life cycle. But it makes me feel good”. Could you imagine if just one of those hundreds of bolts sticking up were off a hair when your trying to line up tons of weight that one section of that tower is! You have to ask how much energy was used in the making and erecting of these and how long it will take to pay back, not just in the financial cost, but also in regard to carbon footprint. Also, if it isn't windy, these things are woefully inefficient.
