Did you know that the gearbox in just one wind turbine holds 800 gallons of OIL We have not been building these giant windmills very long, but as you can see... they are BIG TIME pollution! I wonder how long it will take for all of that fiberglass to decompose? There is NOTHING "green" about wind turbines! And they require OIL & GAS to produce! Not to mention they need oil & gas to erect. The crank case takes 800 gallons of oil to keep them running! Do you know why #Government is pushing these worthless polluters? It's because they are ALL heavily invested in green energy! They don't CARE about pollution! They ONLY care about PROFIT! Offshore wind turbines may generate green energy, but they use a lot more oil than proponents like to admit. Just installing the foundation of a single offshore turbine can consume 18,857 barrels of marine fuel during construction, according to calculations published by Forbes Wednesday. Offshore wind farms often have over 100 wind turbines, meaning that building them requires almost 2 million barrels of fuel just to power the ships involved in construction. “You can’t even construct or operate offshore wind turbines without oil,” Chris Warren, a spokesman for the free-market Institute for Energy Research, told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “For decades, we have been told that wind, solar, and other so-called ‘green’ sources are the future, and yet these sources remain expensive, intermittent, and unreliable despite government mandates and subsidies. Offshore wind in particular remains one of the most expensive sources of electricity that exists.” https://dailycaller.com/2017/03/03/dirty-secret-behind-wind-turbines-they-need-lots-of-oil/
