View MoreSince Fabricated Stories (lead stories) owned by Facebook wants to say spraying glycol (oil product) on wind turbines to unfreeze them (a sight we in Texas and Oklahoma (and hell anyone that has seen deicing planes) know to be true) as �partially false�...
Fact check this turd muffins!
One five kWh wind turbine takes:
230 tons of steel
Each ton of steel takes 10 tons of coal to make.
65 tons of fiberglass (a petroleum product)
23 tons of plastics, rubber gaskets, and resin (petroleum products)
60 gal of oil every 2 1/2 months just to keep it from locking up.
That does not include that the blades are non biodegradable, but don�t worry...the cement pad it sits on is 90% ground up blades that will never break down or bio degrade, though there will be erosion spreading oil product all over your farm fields.
You say the new ones use carbon fiber instead of fiberglass...that is still 65 tons of a petroleum product. This also does not include the gas and diesel used to mine it, process, ship it, form it, haul it, and construct it.
Then I hope you realize one ton of that �dirty� coal produces 2500 kwh and you just burnt 2300 tons to make one 5 kWh windmill that doesn�t even work below freezing without spraying it with glycol.
