That's just the tip of the iceberg. Don't forget all the site preparation, the massive concrete foundations, the asphalt or concrete roads to get to the pads, the massive amount of steel used to construct power transmission towers etc.
Then to top it all off, the windmills are the greatest killers of endangered birds; eagles, hawks, owls, etc.
Such a feel good green project--for the idiots who are easily brainwashed.
This is another giant money transfer scheme under the guise of "SAVING THE PLANET".
At the moment, the average wind farm has 150 turbines. Each wind turbine requires 80 gallons of oil for lubrication, and this isn’t vegetable oil; this is a PAO synthetic oil based on crude… 12,000 gallons. Once a year, that oil must be replenished.

Not to mention the 80 gallons of gearbox oil per turbine that needs to be changed yearly.
