'Things like windmills' are not going to be fit for purpose to power the western world. They produce tiny amounts of energy if the wind is blowing, look hideous and kill a lot of airborne wildlife
- _ph_ 5y agoIn the last 3 weeks it was quite windy in Europe and German wind power production equaled or even surpassed French nuclear production. Of course, the wind and solar power capacity needs to be built up considerably, but the amounts produced are not tiny at all.
- VaxWithSex 5y agoOh please, stop this nonsense. The wind generators produce Gigwatts of power, more than our entire nuclear plants ever did already. They look beutiful like spanish countryside and the wildlife is safe from them due to new technology already implemented in new plants.
- dageshi 5y agoThey do work just not all of the time. But they're easy and relatively cheap to construct, they can be put up and taken back down again quickly and leave no permanent mark on the landscape. It's not an either or, europe should do everything and do it now, do solar, do wind, do tidal, do nuclear, do everything and do it now to get off Russian gas.
