Denmark making a big investment on wind

[NNadir]

1. From the Danish Energy Agency:

Our Responsibilities, Oil and Gas.

Unfortunately for people adoring and apologizing for this offshore oil and gas drilling hellhole, Denmark, they also maintain a database that shows how long this crap lasts before it needs replacement, under 20 years, under 18 years on average after I went through the data after an antinuke here said "big turbines last longer." (They don't, they're even crappier than the big ones.)

Probably this scheme is an attempt to subsidize an already useless industry that soaks up money and does nothing at all to address climate related issues.

Vestas, and the rest of the fossil fuel supporting wind industry is bleeding money.

All of the wind companies in Europe and the US are bleeding money, because of the rise in commodity prices, since they are mass intensive and thus not even close to being sustainable.

It's 2023, half a century into cheering for the wind industry, trillions of dollars spent, for 7 Exajoules (as of 2021) on a planet where humanity is consuming 624 Exajoules, all 7 Exajoules dependent on back up by gas, oil and coal.

It's a great victory for advertising and marketing, but it's a disaster for humanity since it generates far more complacency and wishful thinking and denial than energy.
