About 230,000 birds are killed after colliding with a wind turbine every year. By comparison, cats are responsible for the deaths of 2.4 billion birds each year. After that, collisions with building glass and vehicles are to blame for about another 800 million deaths.

Great to see. Let's pick up the pace, East coast, West Coast, and the Gulf Coast. These are crucial resources to tap.

Suddenly Trump is all worried about birds health

Really weird comments. In Denmark off shore Wind rules ! Clean energy. Its a win win for mother earth and our future generations.

These nimbys in Massachusetts shot down the offshore windfarm they were trying to build. They throw fits when a solar farm is proposed in their communities. But yet they demand we switch to green energy.

The duck curve shows that renewable energy drops in the evening when electricity demand is highest. Wind drops in the evening over land because ground has a low heat capacity and this kills air currents. Wind picks up at night over water because water has a high heat capacity that stays warm over night creating rising convection currents that create wind. Thus off shore wind turbines are better at supplying high electricity demand at night.

Amazing & Brilliant Of The Education Wind Turbines In This videos i hope in this future i can make to a wind turbines to change of the electrical in this city

All this is great but shouldn't the U.S. also construct a truly 'national' grid. To my knowledge it has three separated grids. That is, when there is no wind in on the east coast, energy cannot be taken from the west coast or even the centre.

I wonder if any of the UK firms tendered for the partnership too???

Keep scaling up. End greenhouse gases.

Recently read an article about 100% recyclable wind turbine blades. I'd like to see these deployed world-wide. Also read that painting one blade black, can reduce bird deaths by 70%.

New Beginnings

The key is the wind gets focused inside the city but the wind offshore is not nearly as strong as inside of the City

I really hope some of these wind farms are visible from Trump Tower. He'll love that. :)

Compare the time to launch one of the support vessels with the time to launch an Iowa.

Renewably powered global economy...let's rock and roll!!

©️6:32 if used this timemark as a photo, its a great picture is my opinion. Its shows again how small and depandend we are as humanety against and on the forces of nature. ©️4:19

the block island wind farm has been plagued by problems from the start and is the most expensive electricity in the US .

Intermittent and reliable energy are not the same thing. Some W&S makes sense if there is enough firm, reliable power to insure stability. Too much raises costs and weakens infrastructure. W&S operate on top of reliable energy, not instead of reliable energy.

offshore floating turbines are the future. Easy to install and move, wind speeds stronger and more consistent than at land

I wonder if wind farms in the Gulf of Mexico are feasible, or if the frequent hurricanes in that region make it a non-option. There's also the factor of the incredible number of variety of birds that fly across the Gulf every year.

Nice but put a hundred tarawatts or more let's go green solar wind hydro and let's tap Yellowstone for geothermal

Of course, we don't have birds in Europe, largely because we installed wind farms. Utterly wiped out. It's kind of tragic. He can't use the data for European wind farms though, because of American exceptionalism. Their birds just aren't anything like ours. Alternatively, it could be house cats that are the real risk to birds. No-one should call themselves a journalist if they're going to put out this kind of negative nonsense without refuting such claims with readily available information and respectable sources.

I hope they are hurricane proof. You can have too much wind.

3.3 GW is the peak power, i like wind but come on that's just not interesting what matter is the yearly production and at what cost.

It's good if we have things prepared as marxist economics to my personal understanding comes after capitalism to turn every inch of its development to benefit the existence of labouring force and growing more with it

🇺🇸🤙🏾

two foreign companies using ships and materials made in europe ?

What we really need is more clean, reliable nuclear power. Now we're seeing what happens when policymakers are influenced by activists, they get what they thought they wanted: a forced reduction in fossil fuel usage causing energy problems. This kind of action never ends well. We've spent decades wasting time and ra esources on dilute intermittent power sources while penalizing dense reliable sources, and we are now suffering energy shortages and seriously weakened infrastructure due to our obsession with RE. The pain and suffering of this crisis - a crisis of not enough reliable electricity - is happening right now. As usual the poorer parts of the world suffer the most as coal, oil and gas that was slated for them is now being diverted to wealthier countries. How can we talk about reducing emissions when wealthy countries are throwing their climate targets out the window to keep warm this winter? Like fossil fuels, nuclear can produce nation-scale electricity reliably year-round, regardless of time of day or season. Unlike fossil fuels it does so cleanly. if we are going to successfully decarbonize, energy must be secure and reliable first.

If offshore wind is such an underused resource, why does it require the US government to subsidize it? If the people in New York think that their electricity bills are high now, just wait until these unnecessary monstrosities go online.

73 acres? What a joke. Come to the Southeast and we can handle hundreds of acres. Plus everyone from the NE is moving here so we need the additional power.

As long as the wind blows, they'll work fine.

My god landing in new york will feel like landing in copenhagen ..

big oil becomes big wind . meet the new boss

How long will they last , What is the impact to marine life , Will they cost more to maintain than they produce , ARE they just another plastic bottle and bag mess ?

tax credits means US taxpayer dollars going into norwegian wind farmers pockets . the money has to come from somewhere

The problem is that fossil fuels are required to build the infrastructure, perform maintenance, provide raw materials for structural elements, etc. You need fossil fuels to ship materials around to support these wind turbines and off shore facilities.

Birds Vs the survival of humanity by limiting climate change. Is it really that hard of a choice? We don't have time to look at the long term because we wasted the last 30yrs doing nothing.

"The biggest challenges (are) time..." No, the biggest challenge is getting the Republican party---and their friends on the oil industry---to stop impeding progress.

And what happens to these end of life using for these Wind Turbines? 🧐

Wind and solar generated electricity are now mature technologies with few cost savings left to exploit and many times the cost of power from a well run public power grid. They don't belong on the public power grid. People selling power from battery storage is grid quality power available on demand and useful for backup and peaking loads. Wind turbine generated electricity is not dispatchable electricity and has to be conditioned and backed up by dispatchable electricity. It is useful for saving other fuels, but the high cost of implementation and maintenance has meant onshore wind turbines once rate payers start paying for them in the USA have always cost residential electric rates to go up significantly when electricity should be going down in real costs with improving technology and efficiency. Offshore wind turbines cost more than twice the cost of onshore wind turbines. People trying to scam the public make use of Climate Change misleading marketing to help their cause. Global warming has been dead at about 1°C since 1992 with no known cause in 2024 after huge ongoing efforts to find a cause. It is high school science all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth is completely absorbed by greenhouse gasses in earth's greenhouse effect within 20 meters of the surface. Its further heat transfer is by convection. Earth's greenhouse effect is a primary example of system always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor where other greenhouse gas can not change its overall effect. On average CO2 has a 1/4 of 1% share in earth's greenhouse effect. Over 90% of plants on earth today, C3 plants, evolved over 70 million years ago in CO2 levels ten times what they are today and struggle at the low CO2 levels of today. CO2 levels about three times those of todays at 1200 ppm CO2 would greatly invigorate C3 plants. That is what is done in tomato greenhouses.

Offshore windmills are a scheme for navies to restrict shipping lanes and that is why it is important to have Dynairships of Robert L. Morrison's patented lighter than air solids sealed in metal foil having nuclear powered jet engines to transport freight along with Mary Kenney's patents for of louver covered ground based ducted fans referenced from Marshal J Corbett of Guman Patent for of cold plasma aerial highways depicte4d in of film "NeoSeoul 211 44 A.D.." Imperial Japan had sulfur fueled steam filled airships and deuterium fueled rocket propelled gliders above terror of Roosevelt's Allied aggression until Fall of 1945 when Allies forced Japan to have rail transit and solar agricultural farms.

When you consider that a turbine never saves as much co2 as it takes to build and service them, and this cold calm week they produced almost nothing, you have to wonder at the IQ of their supporters. 10 days now in the UK and hardly any wind, and it's freezing cold. Utterly useless.

Ner zero 2030 is just never gonna happen

What happens when the wind is not blowing??? Then they are useless along with all renewables lol

F green energy v8s for ever! Let the world burn

And the coal, oil, or nuke plant will also have to run (continually) to be able to instantly back up the wind farm and smooth out it's cycle of wind/no wind. Add to that, windmills require extensive mining powered by fossil fuels, resulting in a non-recycleable turbine blade (which also requires transportation by diesel train/truck). We will actually be using more fossil fuel, not less.

No one is going to be hooked by this story. All know the future is still with fossil fuel, and its total replacement is impossible.

Delusional

I had baked beans for lunch. I e got some spare wind for ya 💨
