but…OIL and COAL are BY FAR the most subsidized industries, not wind. Check out MAG-LEV Vertical Axis Wind Turbines. There are 500W portables that operate on a breeze.

so, what are you suggest?

We should ban subsidies to all energy sources to foster a competitive energy market. Renewables, such as wind and solar, are intermittent, expensive, inefficient energy sources. Despite thirty years of subsidies, they still make up only a fraction of our energy use.

@moneyfornathan Yeah, what is the point? Most use synthetic oil which uses no petroleum at all. What you don’t get is that a LITTLE oil (few barrels) for lubrication to offset HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of barrels of oil or hundreds of TONS of coal seems like a little stupid point to make doesn’t it? I know exactly how a wind turbine works, much better than you do, trust me.

@steensn You miss the point. They have moving parts. It doesn’t matter what moves them, they need lubricant to continue moving. The oil isn’t there to make them move when the wind doesn’t blow–it’s there to counteract the effects of metal on metal friction when the wind is blowing.

I do agree with the video because I feel wind is way too much hyped.

It have it’s advantages but saying it’s cheaper then coal and can replace all fossils fuels is brainwashing. It can be backed pretty easily with gas but that’s all. So far it cannot supply baseload electricity. Until then, we gotta find something else (nuclear, clean coal, gas, efficiency).

I’m sorry but I personally on every level disagree with this video, Wind energy is in every way better than Fossil Fuels, so you can go and just plain give up, it’s something that will hopefully save our world so unless you go any brighter ideas just ***t up. This is just lame. it’s even childish, claiming it’s bad because it was built using fossil fuels, what if wind turbines powered everything, and cars ran on electricity, then what, how would they be bad then?

The worst bunch of hogwash I ever heard. Whoever is behind this video is doing lobby work for the oil industry. And only stupid people are buying it

@aronswritingdeskyt I want to ask you two questions that I’m not sure I know and I want your opinion:

Do you have any idea how many products are imported from China?
and
Why are energy bills increased (i.e. political reasons, wars and relations with major suppliers of petroleum, or maybe natural disasters that may interrupt petroleum production and transportation)?

Also just out of curiosity, you used “your government.” Meaning your not from the US?
