  • a lot more birds die by cars , it is enough to look on the streets :( , poor little animals , I bet that all this NGO's are paid by oil corporations like shell

  • Warum habt Ihr euch nicht "gewehrt", an solche Fragen sollten wir uns langsam gewöhnen.

    Das kommt in spätestens 5 Jahren und ich sehe heute schon die Antwort.

    Wir hatten 5 "demokratische Zentralratsparteien" zur Auswahl, da konnte ein jeder blind

    wählen!

  • @lautringer1 - yo, speaken sie the king's english hier?

  • Its The largest Wind Turbine from Enercon..But the Prototype E-100 Will be Bigger

    But its only a prototype

  • The story of coal is easy to tell 200 million years ago in peaty bogs bio mass fell.

    Eons of storms and wind and rain won't bring those bogs back again.

    So today we are stuck with Wind, Nuclear or Solar or because the coal won't last forever we are just out of luck..

  • 5,000 households? That's it?  At what cost? Hey, if folks want to LOWER their standard of living, do it on your own dime.

    We going to get any video of this thing chopping up birds?

  • @oracle2world Birds generally steer clear of such things you might be disappointed to hear. Of course, with your own dime I'm sure you could make it happen.

  • @oracle2world if you find 5000 households to be low ... how about adding it up at an average of 200 dollars a month ? that s 12 000 000 dollars worth of electricity a year ... and if the enercon has a 15 years life span, we are talking about a little less then 200 M dollars worth of electricity ...

  • @oracle2world So producing electricity without releasing the microparticles associated with coal means lowering our standard of living? Thousands of Americans who die every years because of pollution from coal plants would mourn the death of a few birds with you if they were still alive.

  • @Tamizushi - A large wind farm equates to about one nuclear plant. Supplying Germany's electrical demand requires about 200 wind farms or nuclear plants. Total wind turbines about 100,000. All numbers here rough estimates. Connecting 100,000 turbines requires a lot of wire, transformers, and complicated connections to a power grid.

    But it would give a cute appearance to the skyline.

  • @oracle2world

    1st, most reputed energies in the world disagree with you that nuclear is cheaper than wind, even counting the additional transmission cost. For example, The US EIA predicts that nuclear will cost $114.0/MWH for new installation in 2015 compared to 96.1 for wind and 95.0 for coal.

    2nd Carrying a nuclear plant project can easily take over a decade. Wind is faster to implement

    3rd Who said we have to take all our energy from one source only.

    (continue)

  • 4th over 80% of the world's electricity comes from fossil, with 60% from coal alone. The debate is not about wind vs nuclear (unless you are French) it's about coal vs everything else. If we decide to replace coal energy with something else, go ahead and build as many nuclear plants as you want, we will still have enough demand for as many wind farms as we can build.

  • @Tamizushi - I'm very suspicious of predictions 4 years out, and anything comparing the cost of generating electricity by different means. (But I will agree there is no such thing as "clean coal" - even utilities prefer natural gas.) Wind is intermittant and not flexible in siting. It can supply some load around the edges at enormous effort., that's it. If you end up with a lot of back-up generators for reliability, you are back to square one.

  • @oracle2world You shouldn't be so suspicious of predictions for years out because for the most case, the projects that are gonna be completed then are already under construction now, and of course it means that the cost estimate has already been done quite extensively.

    Probably the best energy to complement wind is hydro, and indeed you could see wind as a way too extend our hydro-electrical capacity.

  • @oracle2world The problem is there are no more coal seams not with radar or shovels or seers dreams will we find more to light our homes or heat our hearth. It's gone we burned it and filled the skies with blackened air soot-ified.

    But dear reader the one remaining problem lies in generating base load not peak load to electrify.

  • @oracle2world the cost of the enercon e126 is about an 1/80 of the whole energy output it generates in its lifetime

  • @oracle2world

    What's bad about 5000 households? The E-126 costs about 10-15 million Euro.

    If you run the numbers, you end up at about 10€ per month for electricity... not that bad is it? (including maintainance)

  • @oracle2world Standard of living ? yea it will be best whit Nuclear waste in ur backyard ! wont it ? :S

  • 6KW is equiv to 8000HP.. if that was generated by an efficient internal combustion engine would require approximately 12 gallons of fuel per minute or 17280 gallons a day to match! so its either a few dumb birds get nailed once and a while or 345,600 pounds of CO2 among some other more nasty gasses go into the atmosphere each day. a 10 x 10 farm of 100 at 7MW each would prevent 14.2 billion pounds a year of CO2, 1.06 trillion pounds or 480 megatons in 75 years... need more perspective????

  • @danthemanzizle - hey Einstein, 1 kilowatt = 1.34 horsepower. Your 6 kilowatts = 8 horsepower. But I agree your calculations and those of whoever sells these turbines make about equal sense.

    Search on "unep carbon cycle" and check out the graphic. Those 2 skinny lines are mankind's contribution to CO2. Those massively thick lines are everything else. Just the estimated error in eveything else completely swamps mankind's contribution. And this is from the UN!

  • song?

    thax

  • @Rorg202 Harald Kloser - The Day After Tomorrow

  • This song makes me want to salute to the revolution of green. Congratulations Germany.

  • OH MY GOD!!! This phallic image defies all reason! Scary!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this is so fucking awesome

  • lol powers 5000 households a year

    I made a piece of gaphics for an e-on windfarm xD.

  • :} you should work for natgeo
