We have wind and solar companies that are seriously pursuing the use of farmland around here. It's causing A LOT of issues between families and friends.

They are coming here partially because of the closing of the local coal power plant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the turbines are spaced outand normally in a row, , and even if you had a couple thousand acres you could only get a few turbines on your land.

WVU Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Morals are the prevailing standards of behavior that enable people to live cooperatively in groups. Moral refers to what societies sanction as right and acceptable. Most people tend to act morally and follow societal guidelines Bad choice of word Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FairWarning Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 If the left wants wind turbines, I know what side I want. Tell them to build one in the middle of their neighborhood or on Bill Gates farmland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell them to build one in the middle of their neighborhood or on Bill Gates farmland. Mr. Gates has a large compound on the windward side of Lake Washington in Seattle. The prevailing winds make it an ideal spot for a wind turbine farm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FISHHEAD Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 Spent the past 2.5 months researching this, arttending seminars out of state,, and doing group chats on AG sites daily. Came to my conclusion. Know it’s impossible, but hope everyone profits today on Super Sunday. FWIW, the Chiefs practiced all week here near Southern Highlands in the new multi-million dollar Raiders practice facility , meanwhile the Niners were subjected to do so in the ghetto at UNLV.

He's not entirely wrong. If they are built in the wrong location then they very well could cost more to produce than what they would make, but logistically speaking any company in the business of building them should have enough knowledge to know where they would be the most profitable. This false information is a fairly common statement that simply leaves out important details from the original quote. The full statement was “The concept of net energy must also be applied to renewable sources of energy, such as windmills and photovoltaics. A two-megawatt windmill contains 260 tonnes of steel requiring 170 tonnes of coking coal and 300 tonnes of iron ore, all mined, transported, and produced by hydrocarbons. The question is: how long must a windmill generate energy before it creates more energy than it took to build it? At a good wind site, the energy payback day could be in three years or less; in a poor location, energy payback may be never. That is, a windmill could spin until it falls apart and never generate as much energy as was invested in building it.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
