By the wind turning a turbine that uses a series of mechanisms that change the speed of rotation as it leads to a generator. While theres no input cost associated with using winds to create electricity as opposed to coal or natural gas, it is difficult for countries to adopt the wind power as a primary source of energy. First off is expensive to buy or manufacturer, wind mills, and turbines. More over, there are logistical difficulties, such as changing winds, directions, or even inconsistency. The setup costs can vary depending on the location and the capacity of the farm. For commercial wind turbine, each turbine costs between 2. 00 to 4000000. 00, and this investment is expected to me recruit over a long period of time. On average, it costs around 1300000. 00 per megawatt. To construct a wind farm to most commercial winds turbines have a capacity of 2 to 3 megawatts, but offshore turbines can be as large as 16 to 18 megawatts. To put it into context, a single megawatt is enough to power a 1000 homes for a month. Once built, the Maintenance Cost is an ongoing expense at around 42. 00 to 48000. 00 per year. And this number kleins as a turbine age is given to wear and tear these turbines put up with every day. The blade tip regularly changes its speed from a 120. 00 to a 180 miles per hour. China, the us and germany are among the Top Producers of wind energy. They have invested significantly and harnessing the power of the wind to meet their energy needs. China ranks 1st in the world for wind energy, with a total of annual electricity output at over 650. 00 tara watt hours. The us is 2nd at 379. 00 tera, what hours and finally, we have germany at a 115. 00, tara. What hours and as you can see, theres quite a significant gap between all 3 of these leaders in the space. In 2021, nearly 34 percent of Global Renewable Energy investment was directed towards when projects. And this highlights the growing importance of wind and our energy mix. Wind energy has become more affordable due to Technological Advancements with onshore wind power being one of the most cost competitive sources of electricity. Generations, in many regions, Wind Turbines can operate with high availability, generating electricity up to 80 percent of the time, given a Stable Energy supply. But because of the Constant Movement of the Wind Turbines, these tend to break down over the course of 20 years and needs to be replaced often, even if they are well maintain this compared to solar panels that are static and can last up to 25 to 30 years, the offshore wind farms are now of growing interest as these farms generate electricity from the wind blowing across the sea. And they are considered more efficient than onshore wind farms more consistent and lack the physical interference that you have on land. The leaders of offshore wind include china, the u. K, and germany. So its explain more about the cost of wind energy. Were enjoyed by professor trevor elector, officer of the wind energy engineering. So trevor, how has a cost of setting up and maintaining wind farms involved over the years . And what steps can be taken to further improve cost effectiveness says to move the costs to Wind Turbines have been dropping steadily and of the last 20 years. Theyve dropped at least 50 percent, at least 50 percent. So when did, you know, is comfortable to say anything up a new power station so that its level pegging with the fossil fuel industry. Now wind energy is often praised by its positive impact on reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions. Could you elaborate on how wind power can play a crucial role in mitigating Climate Change . The most important thing is that Wind Turbines do not need feel. Past actions need co need gas. Uh that is its great advantage and that is one of the reasons why its cost effective. It does not. You dont need to buy, feel to run it. A seal is free, it comes from the sun. Is already one form of energy coming into the service and that is from the sun. And the wind energy is actually a secondary effect. But some parts of the world have a lot more with the notice. So therefore, it is very good in some places, not to notice the United Kingdom is particularly good and we, the u. K. Is when the leaders in, in the, of the Window Energy just for example, one day, last year, 70 percent of all the electricity made in england was from Wind Turbines. On average, its about 27 percent of all electricity made in england. This is a, is when doing it too well wide wind energy is already making about 78 percent of the electricity in the world. Now the reason why the u. K is so fortunate is the to, it has a very shallow coast line and you can erect off show Wind Turbines of show Wind Turbines are a lot more effective simply because you have lands breezes during the day. And if you have not please is at night, so the wind is blowing day and night. And as Wind Turbines have grown in size and capacity, how is their efficiency improved . And what innovations do you see shaping the future of when the Energy Efficiency of the wind turbine is, is dependent on the, the area of the, the wind to but the areas accepting the wind. And as this is, this is equal to pile squared is, you know, the, the, the, the distinction knowledge of the radius, the greater will be, the amount of energy that you can collect as it goes up i squared, which means that to the, to Wind Turbines have been getting told her and told her and bigger and bigger. Nowadays, you can buy the Wind Turbines with the radius of a 130 meters. Now thats a diameter of 260 meters. So these Wind Turbines at 300 meters above the lando above the sea. One interesting thing is that these 2 button uh 2 by the so very large that you cannot make them off show because you cant put them in the trailer and then try and turn the corner when you get to. It depends on the road they just to, to very low god. I mean, the radius is a 100, and so if you, so the diameter is 260 meters. So the answer is, uh, they made like an oil rigs. They made an offshore on the, on the show line. Now of all the Renewable Energy sources out there, thermal, hydro solar and others. Where does wind rank sure . The countries allocating more or less money towards wind. We, jody. Well, should the wind turbine is not. Number 2 in the, in the, in the hierarchy, the most effective today is hydro electric. Uh, just to give you an idea, hydro electric to produce a 17 percent to the wells, the electricity wind turbine 7 to 8 percent. So and the, so those are the 4 to 5 percent. And so the wind turbine is a very effective way of making electricity and it is increasing daily. And china is particularly good on this. United kingdom is as well, usa is catching up. A, a, china is doing and creatively as well on Wind Turbines, but its such a huge country and it needs so much electricity, that even if all the, they are swamped, paying the, the amount of turbines being produced worldwide. It doesnt make a huge difference to the total energy it needs to because the needs are so very, very large. Thank you so much, professor trevor, last year for all your time today. But when we come back, we will explain what are the obstacles when energy faces to produce the most energy. So dont go away. The theres no end in sight over how youre going to continue to destroy the earth. Is the case of the med, most of the people i tried to go to the gym, but im certainly not ready to fight russia. This is also absurd. This is the 3rd world lunacy re washington. As for so the funder lion likes to say, we have the tools while we just start with stability and visit a steel some. Living on that we have very close propaganda. You know, a price here in new york. I think we dont know the aftermath any time that youre not allowed to ask questions, you should ask all of the questions. The more questions ask, the better the answer is, will be take a fresh look around. Theres a life kaleidoscopic, isnt just a shifted reality distortion. By how of tired vision with no real opinions pictures designed to simplify all confused who really wants a better wills and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented to this but can you see through their illusions, going underground can look forward to talking to you all, that technology should work for people. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except were such orders at conflict with the 1st law show your mind, anticipation. We should be very careful about visual intelligence at the point, obviously, is to place a trust rather than fit the various jobs. I mean, with the artificial intelligence, we have somebody with him in the a robot must protect his phone, existence was on the well when energy bring significant benefits, it is essential to examine the challenges of pauses. Now one of the big factors is that it is completely dependent on the winds of Mother Nature as to how much when its forecasted for the day. If there is no wind at all, then all of these turbines sit idle. When theres never constant, an overall averages will have turbines always spinning at 30 to 40 percent. Theyre rated capacity for onshore. Wind power also wont work everywhere. You need areas where the wind blow strong and steady in order to make the investment worthwhile. Even with ideal locations in coastal areas, hills and open fields, it doesnt blow all the time. And this causes intermittency when Energy Generation stops or slows down due to the lack of wind. Now there are concerns revolving around the potential environmental impacts. Earlier this year, 6 whales washed ashore and areas being prepared for large scale offshore wind farms. And while there is no specific evidence that the noise resulting from the offshore wind sides could potentially caused the mortality of wells, there is a strong correlation and recent studies of shown that certain marine species such as wales and seals might be affected by Wind Turbines. Under water noise, a study by oceana raised the concerns about the distortion of marine species, eco location ability due to the presence of these offshore wind farms. However, pro opponents of wind projects continue to claim that correlation does not imply causation and insist that there are other dangerous to wells that are more of a life threatening risk such as vessel strikes and entanglements in fishing gear. Additionally, Noise Pollution from Wind Turbines have sparked debates and local communities. The turbine leads make a lot of noise as they turn and birds and bats can be kindred, killed or injured. Despite these concerns, when the energy is the 2nd most widely use Renewable Energy source, with Global Installed wind Power Capacity exceeding 263 and gigawatts. And this account for approximately 24 percent of the worlds total Renewable Energy generation capacity right behind hydro power. So for this and more let spring and todd bubble, horwitz, ceo of bubble trading. Now by the, if there is evidence that when energy has its faults, why do Companies Keep on pushing wind energy . Well, i think its about money, right . Is its not its got to do with whether or not it works or not cuz it does not work very well. Has been proven that its too expensive. It doesnt work very well. And were really not equipped to handle it either way. But its again, its about the patch products, its about money, is about how much these companies can make by being in bag with the government trying to create these on the Climate Change products. And what are the primary challenges associated with wind energy that may hinder its Widespread Adoption as compared to say, other Renewable Energy sources . Well, i mean, theres really no explosion for 5, so well say they can talk about all they want. But with the current infrastructure, you cannot produce enough energy to have those turbines that you need to spend, continue to work. You know, we, we, weve got one major problem in this country for as long as im alive. And that is that every president ial candidate is either i promised to fix the infrastructure, none of them. So yeah. So what we have is a problem and you have these, these have hardened solutions that are going to work because we cannot personally get put, worry how many Wind Turbines can be brought up. Theres, theres many wind farms out there that do not allow for the production of the energy that is needed. You know, we use a lot of energy, this country and we have not been able to, to master or, or satisfy the need by using when nor so are you. Now why do you say that the government wont invest in this infrastructure when they in fact have poured millions of dollars into subsidies. While the mother is money and those who are producing and are getting, you know, lots of tax credits and lots of tax breaks, which again, is the same as money, right . You know, it, just as if you buy something again that youre, the government is giving you a tax credit. Youre getting it directly off your returns. Youre actually are getting paid what, no matter how they want to focus it. And thats, thats the bigger problem, right . We, we have too many projects that couldnt work and we have no plan on how to use them nor how to get there. And now many critics argue that wins intermittency compose res. Ability issues for the power, red Power Companies addressing this concern and ensuring Consistent Energy supply. Well, that goes back to the bottom of it, right . You still need new energy to have those turbines disappeared into work, right . They dont just work purely on air only. And of course, you have a power rate that isnt capable of handling every day circumstances. I mean, we have, we have, we have blackouts when weather gets too hot in certain parts of the world when you buy a new joshua data charged at night. Because of course, the power root canals and what, because we, the, the country is not done a good job at focusing on fixing. The problem is that this goes back to, you know, fixing the lobbies and things in the katrina. Right. They didnt want to fix up there to cheap you guys are too busy stealing the money. Instead of putting it there were supposed to be the 1st thing you have to do before any of these progress in our work is fixed the structure of this country. But of course, if you go back to the Colonial Pipeline here and present vibes, the size of private companies that are problem. Well, is there a problem . Because were very accessible to be hacked by just about anybody. Right . And now some studies have suggested that when Energy Projects might not be as economically viable as proponents claim. So what flaws and wind are they pointing out . The same issue applies usually when does not create because of your change of funding. We know the sounds out every day and there isnt a one day every day. There is not enough to guarantee. Im not, im not fuel. You can even get a guarantee and not using solar power, let alone wind power. And thats the problem im using. When firm, where theres thousands of windmills spinning around, there still cant drive power to power the right. Is there any validation to the Wind Turbines affecting marine life and harming whales, seals and see birds . I dont know about uh what they do, the environment specifically i i cant accommodate cuz. 1 dont know the answer. I would suspect not other than birds that tire, that bite flies probably get caught up and because you know, it was solar, the birds dont get slaughtered and the solar panel. So i would assume similar problems would be in when, but i dont know that that would be any major factor. Somebody would stop me from saying that would be something we would do. And now why, what consumers care about where the energy comes from as long as you have energy and electricity, is it only because of Climate Change . Well, i mean, again we, we, we are not, we are not position to replace the fossil fuel. Right . And when you go through the globe and you look around china and india are never gonna stop on the call and they represent 40 percent of the work they are going to can do. In fact, china is dropped any, any projection of the climate recently. And of course is nothing we do is going to change what 40 percent of the globe is doing. So we can talk the nonsense and we can talk the Climate Change all we want. But again, the day we should be using fossil fuels use, you know, fossil fuels and not worry about the climate. Yeah. And joe, the government, whos behind us polio says a word in a fixture. Im, were josh or want to put a plan together for its a once in a class and what its going to be right. And so im making ridiculous threats of im stopping, you know, Different Things like gas stoves, water heaters and things like this is totally ridiculous. And the positionally, our end is totally ridiculous, and the Energy Storage is often considered a crucial aspect of Renewable Energy integration. So wondering, a Viable Options for storage excess when energy and wouldnt, that is slight, the cost of the batteries are still very expensive. What was it again, no matter what we do, we cant control what the rest of the world up. And we are only a minority of compared to the rest of the world. And again, if you have 40 percent of the world bonding call and china and india plus the rest of them that are, how are you going to do anything we are the cleaning Assembly United states is the cleanest country in the world as it is. So now you, you think youre going to stop over, back to invest and that does have you believe it in Climate Change . And as far as ive heard the world is i need because look line for last 50 years. And yet here we are still the same position with the temperature change a less than a quarter of the degree. And now do you think is when Energy Better for urban or for rural areas . I still think that the best Energy Source that we have and the most for barriers for the fossil fuels. Because again, they can burn clean, they can remain claim and they have not had as dramatic effect on the environment. As the officials would like us to believe, i think more of it is across and, and really not realistic. And i think this is the story that has been told because we, wed like to tell very tail. Busy that are not really legitimate. Thank you so much bye for all your time today. So is when energy actually worth it . Is it a worthwhile investment for a Sustainable Future . And we have the undeniable and advantages of wind energy. Sure, including its cost effectiveness, efficiency, and its potential to mitigate Climate Change as it makes a crucial player with global transition to renewable sources. However, we must still acknowledge the complexities that accompany this journey. The environmental impacts of Wind Turbines, concerns about wildlife interactions and considerations surrounding the Grid Stability call for stable planning and mitigation strategies. Im christy. I thanks for watching and well see you right back here next time on the cost of everything. The shower and the bone, the soldier monument, was erected in 1947 in the estonian capital by the soviets. Authorities originally built above the burial site of troops remains its memorials of the soldiers who gave their lives in world war 2 will say risk at the Department Service good morning. And Frontier Communications is in 2007. The custodial government decided to relocate the monument from the city center for, for the year on that for me, for some color cops i, me to a, to where in the sooner frustrating to move divided the population is stony, is large of russian speaking communities. Strongly opposed to an intense rising, broke out and tell in these have since become the as the bronze knight drives me to bring us a few people across the high are excessive and im here to plan with you. Whatever you do. Do not watch my new shells. Seriously. Why watch something thats so different. Whitelisted opinions that he wont get anywhere else. Welcome to please or do have the state department to see i a weapons bankers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. Choose your facts for you. Go ahead. Change and whatever you do, dont want my shelves, they main street because im probably going to make you uncomfortable. My show is called stretching. But again, you probably dont want to watch it because it might just change the way and say oh no one seemed wrong. Just dont you have to shape out because of the kids and engagement because the trail when so many find themselves will support. We choose to look so Common Ground the today im authorized at additional strong sanctions. Foreign companies are quitting russia. Invisalign to on the think license, dom console, blount and things disconnected from the International Payment system. This optional copy. Dollar and Euro Exchange rates for the nap. When i tell people up buying a couple more so, so we dont, i bought the committee met 3 walcross to do it on this bill is a good. Can you say i dont know. So see material with the promise was in the russian business overcome this song. See yeah, and i bought it to the nazi to how to change tremendously. Just me dont crestwood bullshit. Im not sure product of not just steal, shall be able what i see ssl renew for one year for the appraisal. I need because loop or the i know off to the cost difficult when you, when you use the solution. This is for some of the news with the food or both of, you know, the most of them for the use the a really awesome diane post. I am not bullied to con clay, itd be a is that sees the will be i am sort of by any for you or study on your doctor the duties so give me a day or 3 months, which i thought i thought a well yeah, but well well be on off of, lets not intellect on the bill. Do you have the option to police . You can most, you all got a top of the trust as of the, of all of those i so she like doc live. So for mattel, that goes to be on it because you for the thought on yet will over and i was almost the rich. The city wasnt up way obvious. Exactly. We were going to call me, he slammed me stuff all day as the one who built decrease the probably sliding wish to be assessed or unusually political, the panic tackle at most vehicle in, in books. Indeed, i would definitely bush, an actual youngest 8 or the funny for the play store. But oddly cussing it is lunch and baseball. The trip cock, we know Queen Mattress that i missed 2 months ago. I still dont have in zillow lucas who boswell sent, that a critical quick se. Youre going to show a coup you. I knew it was you cause this landscape remind you of the equation. Or we can look at see an easy solution and look at all the load. Was it the same with him . A not, im going to try to scheme england a little district at least to try or way. Ok, so cool and view a holly, holly changing age. What thats causing a change that you would have to go to 0 and youll be within the chimneys. You would a now usually total cost. Uh uh whats the must be velocity squared . Deal a low, clear to sort a, theres side of the shockwave. Dont us look huge now it looks like the pete daniel, which is it put on ski ill. I really need a big business. The aspect of what were going to 0 on part of going on, but up points is cool if at all, but theyre staying on the line. You know, whats the most cost around it . What has on change, which is a former member of the muslims organization or 2 alone with aliya. These are vacovich, went to prison for 6 years, have been a key figure during the civil war. And both may have been to give, in responsible for the distribution of weapons equipment and the militant fighters from various islamic countries. The, its the only stuff that is or what the, what else to get me into. There was things in yet, which means its got an out of here and thats what i was near. So its just look up shortly. But the government said it was the 1st of our summer to just a pizza. Just different funding category. Permissions being brought simply printed on the others. Are you said its in your black box. These are for the 3rd or 4th. This stupid battleship gives you the system or several out against it is to suggest this we can definitely one of our team members present, expressway, predict bands, interest that you faced. And thats a matter of not that he may a shipment for the submission coordinator with the union and wasnt just a minute. There was an interesting system to put on the bus one though im not any of us are as even video to somebody else in some of them. Theres no escape against your day. Is that your station the most to be able to do much it with some on a bush . Not cw, you b or feet. C of you not be with the god sees the each of us adults who talked about, you know john, me, thatd be a fuck you your time. Thats a beat that we will be done by gp time j. D not quite enough. Just fine. Youll see it got his level is that still small about me . What are these
