I don't care if it can run a 40 watt lightbulb. That's a massive turbine. Do not underestimate the bug people.

It takes more energy to construct one of these than it will ever return before it fails, which it will.

Windmills are the definition of a virtue-signalling, make-work, corrupt, money-funnel scheme to further swindle the slave population.

It will be a nice fishing reef when a typhoon topples it into the sea.

The blades are fiberglass. Which means you must have petroleum to make the resin, and it is not recyclable.

A good article totally ruined by spewing fake political shit right at the end:
"Mind you, the way weather systems are flying off kilter as climate change continues to advance, it's hard to know what to expect going forward."

C'mon man! Humans have only been recording weather for just over 100 years - especially in remote Pacific regions. What do we really know about long term climate trends? Nothing.

Would have been a very good article without that retarded sentence.

looks like a great way to lose vital infrastructure in a time of war, its not like you could setup AA guns around it, you need a small fleet of ships to protect it.

I can't wait for the videos of that thing crashing and burning.
That being said, at least they are doing something. The west is just atrophying and waiting to die.
