As someone who lives near an industrial coast, oil rigs aren’t exactly sightly. They’re hideous. The decommissioned ones turn into artificial reefs eventually but I imagine wind turbines would too and never explode or spill oil in The Gulf.
Wind turbines don't do as well of a job at greasing palms....
You'd think they would. All those moving parts. Surely they lube them up.
Wind turbines actually have a fuckload of grease and oil in them. I used to work for a company that runs wind farms. A single gearbox can contain around 100 gallons of oil.
Still more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels though.
