I heard the wind turbines, solar panels so far provide America with around 2% of our energy. So since liberals appear to want to replace natural energy with man made products, that cause massive pollution by the way to make- How long will that take 30 years, 100 years? How many Wind Turbines will Airplanes and birds and parachute jumpers smash into, isn’t that a problem? How do we rid of natural energy before we have the LIBERAL BACK UP PLAN – WE DON’T REALLY HAVE ?
How do they think this is gonna work? Its not logical, we need to come up with more ideas!
That Battery idea kinda sucks since Batteries Need natural energy to work.
How much pollution comes from making one of the enormous wind fans? I heard it takes more oil than one car needs for a years time.. to make ONE!
It was gallons of oil to make one of them- GALLONS. Does it make sense thinking those are GREEN Tech?

I know – it’s crazy!
We need to blow up the moon. That would fix it.
There isn’t enough room.
Especially if we can’t put them in the areas where rich liberals live.
I think we need to just put sails on our cars and trucks.
How about add green dye to black oil. Then oil will be green energy.
Too many solar panels will soak up all the sunlight and the earth will freeze.
Too many windmills will use up all the wind.
Each American and illegal immigrant needs three solar panels and two wind turbines if they do not have a car or truck. Why don’t the liberals just hook up clean, non-polluting and safe electric motors to turn the generators at the electric plants and save all the gas and so forth? It would be much safer than nuclear energy and easier to invent the equipment than the Internet was to invent.
Yeah, I mean there isn’t hydro either.
Economies of scale aren’t quite there yet, but they do have the potential. It will probably take about 20-30 years at most. Technology keeps vastly improving–I mean your computer that you use now would have taken up your entire living room in the 70s.
Both the wind turbines ( windmills) and solar panels are less costly to implement than nuclear power and have less disaster potential.
They have proven that Windmills miles out in the ocean are a great source of power. This dose not consume any land. For land bound areas they should use public roadways to line the windmills.
For areas without sustainable winds they can use the combined effect of windmills and solar power.
Honey, any motor needs oil. Whether it is a generator for a windmill or a nuclear reactor. Motors are what runs the world. Consider the amount of oil to run a nuclear facility. Tons more than a generator motor.
Once a turbine is activated (motor started) the winds themselves turns the windmill. Each turbine is lined up with the next (wind farms) to push wind at the blades, they each push each other.
“I heard the wind turbines, solar panels so far provide America with around 2% of our energy.”
So, obviously 50x more.
The rest of your question makes you seem uneducated and whiny by the way.
In the place I am now I see several in the distance- wind turbines- all the time,
but it’s the densest grid on earth.
Wind turbines kills birds.

Solar panels are Toxic
Danger: Solar Panels Can Be Hazardous to Your Health
The SVTC warns that solar panel production creates many of the same toxic byproducts as those found in semiconductor production, including silicon tetrachloride, dusts, and greenhouse gases like sulfur hexafluoride.

I’ve never heard of airplanes or parachutists hitting a windmill? lol…
if we focused on hydroelectric, solar and wind… we may not be able to totally cut our dependance on fossil fuels, but we could reduce it a great deal, with relatively no harmful effects and NO POTENTIAL HARMFUL EFFECTS…
and even assuming you’re correct about the windmill production, if it lasts for 10 years and can fuel 100 electric cars over that time… it’s still a MASSIVE energy savings… and I really doubt what you say is true for an average car and an average windmill…
Very good question, and most people do not have an answer.
The truth is we need to use whatever we have, and conserve as much as we can.
There is no excuse for overuse, pollution, and not recycling. Yet many people are not doing it.
Natural gas is an ideal source and is abundant, but is NOT being talked about as much as it should. It is a clean and efficient source of power.
What is really going on is interference by individuals who stand to make millions of dollars depending which way we end up supporting.
The Democrats blame the Republicans for backing oil, yet they are going to make millions of dollars using wind turbines.
I say get the gov out of the decisions, and let the people decide which way to go.
Just remember when you ask this question that there was a time when one could have asked, “How many automobiles, gas stations, refineries, etc. would it take to replace horses and wagons.
When technology changes, major changes in infrastructure are necessary. That’s no reason to stick with the same old previous century’s technology.
Enough to fill up the land mass of Jupiter.
Green technology at this stage is not viable for the long run…we don’t have the technology as of yet to replace all other modes of energy…Windmill Farms are EXTREMELY ugly and kills thousands of birds and only work when the wind is actually blowing…solar is not ready for prime time, too expensive for the average joe…we should be pursuing other engines that would use less gasoline and some exist but nobody is promoting those because they are convinced electric cars are the way to go but those are a farce because we don’t generate enough electricity now for homes to use, can you imagine how little we would have if all cars starting using that same energy? IT is a farce that during an economic crisis the current powers that be are wasting money on green technology garbage that won’t work. We should be figuring out how to drill our own oil and get off foreign sources and build more plants to produce more electricity, not figure out how to use the little electricity we currently produce in all our vehicles…Liberals…what a concept.
