Clearly the pro EVists are going to continue to disagree and throw fake studies and fake numbers out about the viability of wind farms. They ignore the the negatives - the noise, the damage to the environment, the cost to maintain and the life expectancy."US News Best Jobs states that wind turbine technicians made a median salary of $57,320 in 2022, with the top 25% earning $63,900 and the lowest 25% earning $48,6304." How long are these artificially low salaries going to last when the minimum wage is approaching $20 per hour? Wind turbines are built at a height to exploit high winds. How many workers are going to be willing to work 500 feet up in high winds over oceans or vast fields for $30 an hour. Wind turbine blades can cost up to $155,000 and last less than 10 years. that does not include the cost of transpoorting them from factory to wind farm. Finally, what ever became of the wind farm to be built off shore near martha's vinyard? Obviously they are okay for off shore development until the NIMBY's see the obama's rejecting them. But S-P says they're good so I guess they are good. |
