Throw Away, Part Time Producing, Expensive Wind Plants= JUNK
1/3 of wind turbines in Spain to be dismantled within five years
7,500 wind turbines in Spain to be dismantled within five years
Approximately 36% of energy-generating wind turbines in Spain will need to be decommissioned within the next five years as they become obsolete, predicts the Wind Energy Association (AEE). This translates to around 7,500 wind turbines and 20,000 blades turning into scrap that will have to be dismantled, transported, and processed, posing a significant logistical challenge.
The construction of new installations has a positive aspect, creating job opportunities for operators in many small towns, attracting investments, and fostering development, notes the newspaper El Nacional. Currently, Spain has over 1,300 wind farms.
The European Commission plans to double the budget to EUR 1.4 billion for the so-called clean technologies and expedite permit-related bureaucracy to ensure that by 2030, 45% of energy comes from renewable sources.
Despite the growth, the wind industry in Europe, including Spain, is facing billion-euro losses, mainly due to competition from China, which has better access to resources and offers lower prices, according to the newspaper elEconomista.

Where in hades are they going to put all those 100 meter rotor blades?
And doing that every 20 to 25 years?That toxic waste pile will become huge
Add to that tens of millions EV batteries every 8 years
What in hell are these near zero nut folks thinking?
And all that stuff is subsidized?
The idiocy of it all is of the charts !!

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?
We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
