@Deleted User The big ones have a lock where one of the blades is in line with the tower

2019-04-14 17:17:09 UTC  

well

2019-04-14 17:17:19 UTC  

apparently the big ones don't really just break like that one

2019-04-14 17:17:24 UTC  

but they catch fire

2019-04-14 17:17:31 UTC  

Renewable UK says this is a really rare occurrence, and there are officially only around 12 wind turbine fires reported a year worldwide.

2019-04-14 17:17:55 UTC  

I've seen burnt off tops of windmill stands before

2019-04-14 17:18:56 UTC  

either way renewable energy isn't that great most of the time

2019-04-14 17:19:07 UTC  

not for large-scale energy production anyway

2019-04-14 17:19:39 UTC  

One thing people don't talk about when it comes to wind power is the damage it does to local birds/bats too

2019-04-14 17:19:40 UTC  

It works here. 85% of our energy in the PNW is renewable

2019-04-14 17:20:03 UTC  

do birds just fly into the blades constantly? <:think_madpepe:378717098630971395>

2019-04-14 17:20:17 UTC  

yes

2019-04-14 17:20:49 UTC  

And it screws with bats' echolocation sense

2019-04-14 17:21:25 UTC  

oh but don't you know we only have 12 years to cover the planet with solar panels

2019-04-14 17:21:28 UTC  

or we will all dieeeeeeeeeee

2019-04-14 17:21:31 UTC  

@Deleted User Oh that's not bad lol

2019-04-14 17:22:07 UTC  

@Deleted User are you just a general contractor or what

2019-04-14 17:22:26 UTC  

He makes retard signs

<:pepe_eyes:378719408362881024>

2019-04-14 17:22:46 UTC  

solar panels that we need to dig up toxic rare earth metals to make

2019-04-14 17:22:47 UTC  

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2019-04-14 17:23:01 UTC  

like what?

2019-04-14 17:23:22 UTC  

And those giant solar plants that use mirrors also kill birds and require lots of water

2019-04-14 17:23:28 UTC  

tellurium

2019-04-14 17:23:33 UTC  

@Deleted User Look up rare earth minerals

2019-04-14 17:23:51 UTC  

Nuclear when

2019-04-14 17:23:54 UTC  

<:pepe_smug:560207654207750154>

2019-04-14 17:24:02 UTC  

Only have to deal with toxic waste then

2019-04-14 17:24:07 UTC  

we could have gone nuclear a few years ago <:pepe_sad:560202541904953365>

2019-04-14 17:24:18 UTC  

if trump lost the election <:pepe_smug:560207654207750154>

2019-04-14 17:25:39 UTC  

nah

2019-04-14 17:25:43 UTC  

people in charge are pussies

2019-04-14 17:25:50 UTC  

they would not have the balls to go nuclear

2019-04-14 17:25:59 UTC  

just look at india and pakistan

2019-04-14 17:26:03 UTC  

always bitching

2019-04-14 17:26:05 UTC  

lithium is a rare earth mineral that is used in all batteries. and the toxic sludge you get from refining is a huge problem that we are leaving to china

2019-04-14 17:26:09 UTC  

never ready to pull the trigger

2019-04-14 17:26:15 UTC  

real cucks

2019-04-14 17:26:17 UTC  

both of them

2019-04-14 17:26:21 UTC  

Hillary after all was the one to give Putin a reset button

2019-04-14 17:26:41 UTC
