Sure sure, but as a fossil fuel executive, answer me this: What if we burned the wind turbines for warmth instead?
Only if you use clean coal; else, it’s detrimental to the environment.
Nah, the fossil fuel industry has been investing heavily in renewables for a while now. They’re not going to pass up another revenue stream.
Little inferno just for meee
Trump’s disdain for clean energy could cause the US to fall behind technologically in its development.

Can I have one of the old ones they’re taking out? How much do you think it would cost for delivery and installation? Hmm…
Delivery probably isn’t as much as you’d expect it to be since it’s just the turbine being replaced.
Installation on the other hand, would be a massive bill since you’d need to erect your own windmill to install the turbine into.
