According to the following report, those windmills so beloved by the Greens aren’t all that environmentally friendly.

Not because of “sustainable and clean” Accident in Sweden revealed huge oil consumption and environmental damage from wind turbines
Last weekend a windmill collapsed in northern Sweden; so far, it’s banal, one would think — especially since no one was injured. However, there was a disturbing picture at the scene of the accident: plastic debris lay in the middle of a huge pool of oil, which caused some stunned questions from parts of the press and the public. The authorities locked down the entire facility; allegedly for further “investigations”. In fact, the damage to the image should probably be repaired. Because the case once again focuses on the sham of green energy.
The collapsed wind turbine was part of the Nysäter project, which is set to be of central importance for the expansion of renewable energy production in Sweden and was launched only last month with a great deal of media attention. It is one of the largest plants in Europe — and one of the most modern. The green-polished public in “Climate Gretel” Thunberg’s home country is therefore all the more irritated by the incident.
Up to 800 liters of oil consumption
In fact, the collapse is likely to make more people in Sweden aware than the green energy lobbyists would like that wind energy is by no means the long-awaited “clean” power generation source that it is politically and is always presented in the media. Because there is a reason for the oil leaks at the site of the incident: According to various studies, which were published in specialist articles on MDPI, a wind turbine requires between 200 and 800 liters of oil per year.
Dangerous oil guzzlers
An expert from Pitsel & Associates Ltd. estimates that an average wind turbine farm consists of 150 wind turbines, each of which requires 80 gallons of oil (about 364 liters) as lubrication. In total, a wind farm needs about 45,000 liters of oil to be operated at all. The oil needs to be replaced once a year. To fully power a city the size of New York with wind power would require over a million gallons of refined oil.
In addition, the number of wind turbine accidents increases with the number of installed systems. The collapse in Sweden was not the first. In Germany, too, a wind turbine collapsed in North Rhine-Westphalia last September. The fact that there were no injuries, in a much more densely populated area, was sheer luck.
According to the manufacturer Nordex, the damage was in the “mid-single-digit million range.” With the lowering of the minimum distance between new wind turbines and residential areas decided by the “traffic lights”*, it will only be a matter of time before in addition to myriads of birds, bats and insects, humans are also victims of this cult-glorified technology.
Here are some examples of wind turbine accidents.
Afterword from the translator:
Again this proves, that the Greens are the most mendacious party ever. They are neither for environmental protection nor for peace, they are just pathetically malicious puppets of the Global Oligarchs. Years ago, when forest dieback was on the agenda because a few leaves turned brown in late summer and early autumn and fell from the trees, the Green Party screamed loudly. Today they cut down entire forests for their bird and bee shredders. Go figure.

Notice Greenpeace and the WWF in the 2011 list of stakeholders for Solar Radiation Manegement, aka chemtrails. The deceit is everywhere you look. https://www.geoengineeringwatch.org/the-solar-radiation-management-governance-initiative-and-the-environmental-organizations-who-are-involved-with-it/
Greenpeace does not seem to be on the published list anymore in 2022, but they are happy to write woolly pieces about a ‘last resort’ usage of chemtrails.
The fact that it’s a shocking discovery for Greens to learn that a rotating mechanical device needs lubrication speaks volumes. The scale of Green embarrassment is like the Richter scale — open to the infinite. (Btw, a couple years ago there was a report somewhere saying that wind turbines built in the open sea even need diesel engines to keep them rotating when there is no wind, because otherwise the bearings would corrode. It was hushed up quickly, need to go digging if I can still find it at all.)
Anyhow, the idea is not new and if the infrastructure plans of the Nazis had come to fruition, we would have these things right in the city centers. The program started already in 1932 was called “Reichskrafttürme” (“Reich’s power towers”). Google the word for some pictures to go with it. They were all about sustainability and self-sufficiency, and for good reasons beyond all the bad you can say about them. At the very least they weren’t as stupid about technology, just more ruthless about the risks. Yes, there would have been accidents as well, with more tragic consequences than shattered illusions.
Let’s call it a learning process… If not the Greens, the rest will learn to hit them over the head with a piece of hard wood in good time rather than voting for them. In Germany, where density is so much higher, they just recently learned that fields lying under wind farms increasingly suffer from drought. Speak of man-made climate change? They won’t until forced to admit that their own measures are worse than what they claim to cure.
…a word is getting out, but I don’t know how true, but it seems plausible – that the lack of rainfall in Europe might actually be caused by the windmills: The windmills are basically huge mixers of the surface air, and when you consider how morning dew comes into existence – that the air at the surface cools down and condenses over night and makes dew – the giant propellers mix the air and it therefore cannot cool down and condense -> and the result is we get less dew, and consequently less rain.
Would it not be grand if this was true? That the windmills would cause dry spells?
The design is also inefficient. There is a squirrel-cage design that has been around for years. The unit resembles a ventilation blower that has as its intake where the air discharge would occur in the blower style unit. The design is significantly more efficient than bird-killing propellers. Yes, we have had similar problems with them here in Cabazon west of Palm Springs where the wind always blows, according to the local Indian tribes, if the wind isn’t blowing in Cabazon the wind is not blowing at all anywhere in Southern California.
BTW, they have now figured out a way to make electricity from heat.
Stirling engines have been capable of turning temperature differentials into mechanical output for well over a century. I believe they are used for some purposes on submarines because they are silent in operation.
I have also have seen Stirling generators that use a parabolic mirror to focus sunlight onto the hot side cylinder but I am not sure of how much electricity they are capable of generating. Seems like it would be practical for charging a battery bank in remote homesteads but I haven’t heard of them being used for home power generation.
There is a class of Swedish submarines that use the Stirling engine. The cold ocean water acting as a heat sink makes its operation more efficient.
In the words of JP Morgan and John Rockefeller: “If it runs on any source of heat – how do we charge you for gas??”
You don’t, we use firewood and coal. So there!
Win turbine blades, like solar panels, also contain some nasty pollutants: https://www.jihadwatch.org/2022/07/environmentalism-is-an-environmental-hazard
