Negative compared to a preexisting coal plant? It's probably a matter of weeks.

Negative compared to a preexisting coal plant? It's probably a matter of weeks.
- _justinfunk 3y agoNote that it takes 2 orders of magnitude more wind turbines to replace that preexisting coal plant. (i.e. >100 turbines for 1 coal plant)
- mitthrowaway2 3y agoYes, that's factored in. The average coal plant outputs 830 MW, and obviously nobody is building wind turbines that large. That's why wind power installations are called "wind farms".
