Is that 150 tons for the whole wind turbine, or just the blades? Most parts other than the blades should be reusable or recycleable.
Could result in a 1-2 order of magnitude increase in efficiency.
- torpfactory 7y ago150 tons for the whole thing. Blades are like 5 tons each according to the source I looked at. Mind you this isn’t a terribly large turbine by today’s standards.
- perl4ever 7y agoI read it wrong at first, but I think the point is that the wind turbine is producing about 2 orders of magnitude more power per kg anyway, with assumptions biased towards natural gas.
