ABC News’ Ginger Zee reports on the power of wind in building a renewable energy future, traveling to Block Island, RI to visit America’s oldest offshore wind farm.

Wind power runs out on a daily basis.
Its all very make believe. Where does the power come from when the wind stops or the winds are too strong during storm season for instance. What are they made of that guarantees they last forever. What happens to waste from damaged/broken down parts. Are they sent back to who manufactured them to dispose of. The real lie, if wind turbines are so damn good why is China manufacturing and exporting turbines to other countries when they to have lots of mountains, a coastline and lots of windy plains to put their own turbines on their farmlands and waterways. Instead china is flat out building copious coal fired power stations.
Who picks up all the dead birds?
These turbines cost a lot and have a expectancy of 20-25 years. Imagine if there will be no wind. Useless pieces of metal. Better build some nuclear power plants, they give energy more stable, cheaper and do not make landscape so ugly as wind turbines.

What happens when no wind? And better offshore
Waste of time
non baseload energy is distraction and waste of time as it must be backed up or provided with storage and extra transmission infrastructure. Wind is like the employee which shows up and works only when it feels like it leaving the rest of the team to pick up the slack. If we need low carbon energy hydroelectric, geothermal, and nuclear are better options.

COP26 is blah blah blah while the US and Manchin back their oil and coal company self interest dividends over climate change.
Stupid person report. No wind, no energy! You will need either Diesel generators, gas peaker plants, coal plants or better….nuclear fission or fusion power. Wind is just a short term fools game.
This is not working well in the UK where the wind is not as steady as they thought. Now there is a mad rush for natural gas and other base load power. Is there a blackout coming to your wind powered neighborhood?

This is American energy freedom…electric heating and electric vehicles…then powering all our coastal cities around the world.
Mybe stop using horizontal ones for they need faster wind to work but can't work in fast wind and it kills lots of birds.
Mybe invest in vertical wind turbines for they need less wind to work and can work in fast winds faster then the horizontal ones and they kill 20% less birds add 1 black blade and it now kills 45% less then a black blade horizontal one.
Oh horizontal turbines need to stop around 55 to 60 mph winds.
Vertical ones need to stop around 75 to 80 mph winds.
its too late
No money to be made, it's why the largest wind farm company in MN switched over to building railroad tracks. If they stayed with windmills they'd be bankrupt says their VP.
Add A Small Windmill To The Solar Panels On Your Roof
No Rare Earth Elements Needed 😉
nobody seems to understand how insanely inefficient wind turbines are, and they constantly break down.
America China and India the dirty three.
Turbines are just so expensive. There must be a less expensive way of catching the wind.
Cool. I would love to have one of these in my neighborhood, as long as it's not too noisy. Now we just need to figure out how to recycle the materials (although their life cycles are very long, much longer than any car), and we'll be set! No more digging up the remains of million-year-old flora and fauna from the ground!
The enviro cult religionists should be the ones to voluntarily do without power during designed future brownouts n blackouts.
Wind/solar is another scam…..demic
Hmm. I don't know. Still kind of looks like we're screwed. 🙌💪
And the the bird population disappears out of that region!
Weird you don’t even publish it maybe you don’t know about it but it takes a barrel if oil to keep those turbines oiled up so they turn properly.
