Windmills are the biggest waste of taxpayer dollars besides government employees. How do I know that, I'm in the windmill industry. I see the cost of the blades from China, the tower sections from China and the machine heads (generators) from South Korea. I see the amount of concrete and steel for the bases. I see the hauling them from the various ports, Corpus Christi, Houston, Galveston, Santa Teresa, San Diego, Longbeach, etc, etc. But the companies that put these projects together make incredibly tax writeoffs and carbon credits that any company would want to apply for and receive!

👁️👁️💥 🦅🦉🐦🦇 Bird and Bat blenders... Y'all did you know that these Wind mills are made with extremely toxic material and they can be recycled. They need to be buried unground, Wind mills last only 10 years, then discarded .

They've turned scenic landscapes into a dystopia. During the life of one of these, it won't generate anywhere near the energy it takes to build, transport, install, and maintain it.

Hell where I work they won't let you tie off to a crane but they tell you to get the job done no matter what! But if a salary person happens upon your job they fire you for not following company policies? Imagine that! 😵‍💫🇺🇸🗽

No need for fossil fuels to lubricate that turbine, said Noone. That's an easy way to change out the 80 gallons of oil tucked inside that turbine head. Green and Clean, my ass.

It's been shown, that these windmills, or turbines do not create enough energy to really be profitable. That's what I've read. They're also quite dangerous, if you saw that video, of the two young men, workers, who were stuck atop of a turbine that was blazing on fire, with zero way down. They hugged each other. One person jumped to his death rather than burn alive, the other one tried to run down the stairs, which were already burning very badly, & he was burned to death. Very, Very SAD

Those windmills never pay for themselves from the first spin up tell it’s decommissioned. That doesn’t include the bird strikes or the energy required to build it from the steel mill and fabrication to crane operations while constructing the monstrosity. They use 80 gallons of synthetic oil per year, each‼️‼️ Huge scam‼️
