Wind Power's Hidden Costs
To power half of the US with wind, we would need more than a million turbines.
Each 2-megawatt turbine requires almost 1700 tonnes of material, including
1300 tonnes of concrete, 295 tonnes of steel, 48 tonnes of iron, 24 tonnes of
fiberglass, and on top of that, rare minerals too.
In total, that's 3.7 trillion pounds of raw material. Mining for these
materials is one of the most polluting industries on the planet, all for a
turbine that will wear out in 15 to 20 years. And it's not just the turbines
themselves, billions of tonnes are needed for transmission lines and
batteries.
This isn't a green transition, it's an endless and expensive cycle of mining
and rebuilding for NO discernible benefit.
