Very cost effective too I'm sure. And headlights at night can power solar generators.

I wouldn't doubt if that solar panel on top is what's making the turbine spin.

I'm betting they're wired with 120V when there's no wind or sun.

Y'all ever stood next to a busy highway? Felt that heavy wind coming from passing cars and trucks ? What makes that any different then natural wind ? It's still a force that can turn that turbine and create electricity. I mean...it's a pretty simple concept. And in places with almost const moving traffic I mean what would be the problem ? Could use them to power small stuff like idk cross walk lights or something
But lemme guess this is just more woke lunacy or something right ? tired

I'd bet more energy is used to manufacture and install them than they ever produce

I wouldn't call it woke lunacy, but I would question weather the investment in the infrastructure to build these is worth the effort.

Natural wind generators are lunacy too. It only makes sense to the politicians that own the production companies and receive the grants.

I'm not one bit against other forms of energy but they have to cost effective. My understanding is a lot of the so called green energy isn't. Uses more energy to produce, install, and maintain it than it ever produces. Alot of the solar stuff is made in China because of cheap production. Save the planet with green energy made in the worst polluter of the world. Kind of doesn't make sense to me.

How ? Ok you know what take all the friggen political crap and corporations out of the mix who keep making it worse to try and make an extra buck and what wrong with trying to harness an energy source that's all around us and is free to try and power stuff. The logic that thats lunacy makes no sense to me at all. I mean look at stuff like geo thermal energy. Some guy in Iceland was like "HAYYYY FREE HEAT WHY DONT I FIGURE OUT A WAY TO PIPE THIS TO MY HOUSE SINCE ITS ALREADY HERE AND FREE !"
What about .
What about the free energy we can get from moving water ? Got a flowing creek ? Slap a little turbine in it and your making free energy what's the problem?

Again take out the cooperations and politics fro the idea because that just poisons everything it touches. I don't care about that I care about the possibility for innovation and to make the world better

There's something to be said for innovation and trying to protect the earth. Even if the economics don't currently make sense.

Plus, y'all can throw homos and cross dressers into the spinning blades.

Wolfie, delve into the actual costs and maintenance of these systems. One can not acquire knowledge of things thru only You Tube. Trapping, shooting, reloading, or energy systems, you only handicap yourself and show a shallow knowledge base when that is all you base your thoughts on. I have a nephew that is a “wheel” in the wind generation field. What he tells me after a couple drinks would spin your head. Fact!


Long live the MAGA King

I was referring to the people who propose these ideas. Plus I deleted that post in less than a minute to avoid any misunderstanding once I saw that there could be one.

You really need to realize that not everything is about you....and what exactly are "guys like me"?

I am fine with research but jumping into a whitewater rapid to learn how to swim aint a good idea
