Putting back all the refutations you snippped.

No. They don't.

Sorry, but that's just false.

A 2 MW wind turbine generates generates 2 MWh of electricity every hour
the wind is blowing. It takes about 3,300 - 4,100 MWh of energy to build
one.

So 1,650 - 2,050 hours of wind will pay that off.

A year has 8,766 hours.

And you think they're impossible to cut into pieces?

"Could be"? You seem to object to the word "could" when others use it.

But for the record, there are something between 380,000 and 500,000 wind
turbines in use worldwide. If the were all using the largest turbine
blades currently made (Mingyang Smart Energy MySE 18.X-20MW) at 54
metric tonnes...

...that would still only be 27 million metric tonnes.

I have no "side", Loser.

My only "side" is what is factual; what is reality.

Now deal the fact that your claims were BULLSHIT.

Why would I care that other people also use the language poorly, Loser?

If I were talking to them, I'd make the same correction.

I'm only leaving the rest of your need to repeat yourself endlessly 
intact, so you can't claim I snipped anything.
