The Truth About Industrial Wind Energy - 5 of 12

[chistech1]

9 months to pay for themselves. What kind of education do people get these days? I investigated getting into wind power for my business. After talking with people who install them and sell them I learned a lot. The majority used the term "windpower is a joke". They said the cost, compounded by the breakdowns and service mean that in their 20 year lifespan you break about even. Then, you have to invest in a new unit. In another 10 years the tower itself needs to be replaced. another cost.

Who cares? There's nothin' to see in Kansas anyways!

Where did you get your facts? retarded

yes, incredibly clean nuclear energy. Modern advancements have made nuclear energy the clear choice for not only cost effective energy, but using up less resources and land space. Wind towers use up a lot of capital, often taking 15 years of running to just pay for the tower alone. Imagine investing your money on the pretense that you MIGHT break even in 15 years from your original expenditure.

i dont know where you found your information, but it is wrong. wind towers take roughly 9 months to completely pay for themselves whereas coal and nuclear plants take anywhere from 10-20 years. maybe you just got them mixed up.

Would she prefer a coal powerplant in her neighborhood? Are there any better alternatives than windenergy?

[acidtrashy]

nuclear. It works for starters.
