Are wind turbines remotely similar? I would have thought something mounted high up on an always-moving top would have to be smaller, lighter, and sturdier than something that sits on the ground in a controlled environment. I'm not sure the two are in competition for production.
- tim333 10mo agoI think it's more a shortage of electricity generation in general.
- herewulf 10mo agoI asked Gemini if this was true and my city blacked out.
- kylehotchkiss 10mo agoNo. Thermal turbines turn steam into spin, they're not quite jet engines, but they need 24/7 reliability under stressful physics for extended periods of time. Wind generators are just like big electric car motors, I would think? https://www.spglobal.com/energy/en/news-research/latest-news/electric-power/052025-us-gas-fired-turbine-wait-times-as-much-as-seven-years-costs-up-sharply https://www.spglobal.com/energy/en/news-research/latest-news...
