You do realize that before generating energy, obviously it needs to be built and that would consume energy. Then you need to consider it's whole lifecycle, between 20 and 25 years, how much electricity it has generated and how much it has cost to build and maintain. The result is largely positive.
Thank you for showing that under the rebar reinforced foundation the puddle of concrete it is built over is not much more than a thin layer of soil prep.
Do you know many roads need to be constructed to enable the delivery & erection of just one wind turbine & what's the average life of a wind turbine & do they all get scrapped in an ecological way & are birds, humans & other creatures effected negatively by wind turbines?
Looking at the I’d guess about 2000 ton of concrete and maybe 100 ton steel. Didn’t look like they compacted the backfill they used to cover it but if they did there’d be possibly another couple of thousand ton dirt on top of the concrete
@@jimmytwostones It takes 8 tonnes of coal, with 4 tonnes of iron ore and 1 tonne of limestone to make just 1 tonne of steel. And the Greenies want to stop coal mining to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions. ????????? I think there is a whole heap of hypercriticism going on in government over the issues.

@@redwater4778 kind of blows thé whole idea off the lid of "ecological." The zéro-charbon industry has big money as a priority- no real care to stop polluting.
that is correct. An amount of steel , concrete and everything moved, manufactured, and so on with diesel machines...all very renewable! . A windmill of 2MW is about 1600tm ( 1200 of concrete + 70 of steel for foundation + 350 the windmill)
It all sounds ‘So-good’ to me -- much like any political ‘too_good_to _be_true’. Typical of political Hocus_Pocus to me!!! By the find out the truth most of us will be dead and gone. They’ll just change the whole situation and still nothing anybody can do.
It's a complicated calculation. Here's a comment I've made on other videos: I have not yet seen an honest assessment of how much fossil fuel is consumed manufacturing everything related to the foundation. Rebar and concrete require huge amounts of fossil fuel to mine the raw materials, condition/prep the raw materials, make iron then steel then rebar and concrete. Add the steel and copper and composites that make up the wind turbine itself. And finally the entire construction project from site prep to assembly to interconnection. I want to know when a wind turbine has produced enough electricity to offset the fossil fuel burned to produce it. I've seen claims that the answer is never.
Ive heard one windmill doesnot produce energy through whole lifetime which would equal his price to build it. So we have to donate this "green" energy. Whole green deal is such a fake
@@thetasworld For one turbine, 300 cubic yards of cement for the foundation. That's over 2 million pounds each, 40 truckloads of cement! Can you smell carbon foot print ? And the toxicity of the production of the électronics? The mining of the various métals (some ordinary, some bizarre) for both those électronics and the foundation. The severly toxic chemical used in the Labs where components are produced. White coveralls, gloves and booties and respirators for those working on these machines. This is about big business, not about ecology. Then, decommisioning à unit after its 20 year peak of production, and another 10 years for good measure and réputation, and you have masses of nothing reusable. Tons of fiberglass which is pretty much the same as asbestos suitable for the landfills (back to the earth ?) Électronics which required spécial treatment, and oh yeah, à 69 foot block of cement that will never, ever be moved anywhere. LMAO. Do you see how naïve we can be when we rally behind big business that's waving an ECO flag ?
Yeah, fuck the trees and the forest and the animals! Burn them and go eco mode! I wonder how many decades a Steam Electric Station needs to operate in order to produce the fumes of a wildfire! But it is fascism to wonder nowadays! All heil Klaus!

Thank you SO MUCH for demonstrating the absolute inefficiency of windmill construction relative to energy output! 🐿
Now do it 1000s more times across the countryside and pat yourself on the back for saving the environment.
This should b compulsory viewing for every "Greenie". What does this cost???
Wow, zero carbon emission with magical concrete, magical steel and on and on
zero carbone emission ? it's a joke ? lol
It's much better than lignite mining.

Some many ecological experts in the world
Thank you for showing that under the rebar reinforced foundation the puddle of concrete it is built over is not much more than a thin layer of soil prep.
That thin layer is called Phil flow
And how exactly this could be considered a green solution?
A Friction foundation would probably use much less concrete and steel to achieve the required torque at maximum wind load plus headroom

Totally agree with you,, the amount of energy of material is ridiculous, it should be forbidden to install in mountains of special protection areas. 😢
Literally one dirt road.
Great video, how many tons of concrete are needed to hold that thing down?

How many MW for this base?
Is this anchor bolt cage foundation or just concrete foundation? Thanks
Interesting video, thanks for sharing. No piles? That surprised me.
I’m surprised more don’t fall over to be honest.
@@captinhoop Probably built to a 'max. wind speed spec.' There may well be an agreed anemometer somewhere around.🤒
And how do we remove this little foundation?
you dont
These things will never break even with the energy needed to produce them and install them. Not even close to being “green”.
You can't honestly believe that.. they operate for 20+ years.

not using piling for foundation??
A lot of these will be placed where the bedrock is not far down, I imagine.
Its basically a giant counterweight. Piles would be too light.
That’s an insane amount of steel. Anyone know how many yards of concrete one of these foundations take?
Just looked it up... 120- 240 cubic meters. A méter cubed is just à bit bigger than a cubic yard.
Over 500 cubic meters
