NET ZERO – A 2 MW wind turbine is made up of:
260 tons of steel requiring
300 tons of iron ore
170 tons of coking coal
rare earths including Praseodymium (Pr), Neodymium (Nd), Terbium (Tb), and Dysprosium (Dy)
fibre glass
resin
plastic
aluminium
…. all mined, and produced by hydrocarbons and all subsidised by you.
Eye-opening video highlights the enormous quantity of energy and resources (and thus CO2 emissions) required to build a single wind turbine.

Imagine believing these monstrosities are an efficient use of valuable resources, let alone that they're "saving the planet".pic.twitter.com/nyixVdgq05
I have never seen a wind turbine produce the amount of electricity projected.

They are a blight on the landscape that kills thousands of birds each day. They have a 30 year exemption from the Endangered Species Act.
Shut them down, now! pic.twitter.com/D1EIkxiokY
