Why today’s wind turbines are an environmental scam!
There are environmentalists who do not care about wildlife, they are blinded by the “clean” electricity from rotor-driven wind turbines. An estimated 15,000 birds are killed daily in the world by this clean energy.
However, there are alternatives to the dangerous rotor-driven wind turbines, but it is not interesting, for economic reasons. There has been a hysterical development of today’s wind power through enormous subsidies from countries and world organizations. It is free for the large manufacturers to collect tax money to fill the land with these ugly windmills.
Now it is not only our beautiful nature that suffers from windmills, now the mega projects are starting at sea. This is disrupting the growth of the fish population, which already has its problems with industrial fishing.
Seabeds that are suitable for placing wind turbines are also the birthplace of fish fry, which cannot survive the sound waves generated by the blades of the wind turbines. No consideration has so far been taken by the large electricity companies to prevent a biological disaster.
A possibly even greater environmental impact is the emission of microplastics, which are created daily on these enormous fiberglass wings. A wing loses around 3.0 kg of microfibers every year and the lifespan of each wing is a maximum of 25 years, which gives 75.0 kg during its lifetime.
This should be multiplied by the 500,000 wind turbines that are around the world, resulting in 37,500,000 kg of dangerous microplastics ending up in nature, to create a “clean” energy. In addition, there is the energy consumed to manufacture these giants. A standard 3 MW onshore turbine that takes roughly 2.5 to 5 million kWh of energy to build.
And after 25 years the blades have to be replaced, at a high cost that it is often chosen to scrap the entire wind turbine. Then comes the recycling problem, which still has not been solved. In some cases the blades are used for landfill, which in the future has an uncertain development.
500.000 wind power plants has a total Global Capacity to produce, 1,320 GW (1.32 Terawatts), per year. The same energy production can be produced by 2000 nuclear power plants.
What are the best environmental aspects?
Now we can also start discussing the enormous financial embezzlement such as investments in wind turbines that have become an interesting source of income for many of the world’s politicians. This is done through embezzlement of funds, huge commissions from electricity companies and manufacturers who live on the production of new power plants around the world.
This is 1000s of millions of Euros, which instead should be protecting the environment and instead end up in personal accounts!! (But don’t tell this to anyone….)
Now, many people probably think that I am biased against wind turbines, but I am not. I designed a wind turbine myself back in 1985, but without visible moving parts, that is, without rotor blades. It is just that I was too early to compete with the big giant manufacturers, so the project ended up in the office drawer after I had made a prototype and could not get financial support.
It is now up to the big ones to think again and extract energy in a cleaner and more environmentally friendly way.
Thanks for reading my post and wish You all a Happy New Year 2026!!
