The most affordable, cuz it all the business. And you clean the 3 of the, of the daily those shows. I know how many comes for you when you wrote it, you just go to it. Its just such not good to know. So let me provide you with stuff such and sure. Ruckel beam was not as if author of the different student and for which of course, and yet you throw in the wisdom of the problem, youre still move with the shorter issue the deal is that researching yes, just to be as good as the top. So usually im looking thatd be studies for civilian for, to flourish, to, for me to on, on, on the tutor which origin load. It was just some of the posted sustainable. They wont, because we use new way to box or do full color. Or i dont know which these are i know for the dont know is i can suggest to do given the other than that, were going to use best opinion pronounced has come up with the acceptance. And im here to plan with you. Whatever you do. Do not watch my new show. Seriously. Why watch something thats so different. Whitelisted all opinions that he wont get anywhere else. Welcome to please or do have the state department c i a weapons makers, multi 1000000000 dollar corporations. Choose your fax for you. Go ahead. Change and whatever you do, dont want marshall state main street because im probably going to make you uncomfortable. My show is called stretching time. But again, we dont wanna watch it because it might just change the way you we all know that the future is going to be one of Renewable Energy. But what kind of Renewable Energy, hydro, wind, solar, geothermal, theyre all very popular sources of Renewable Energy that we have at our disposal today. And depending on the Natural Resources and environment, each country has its own unique energy mix of for, in order to optimize its energy needs. Im christy, i today were gonna be analyzing the costs of wind energy. Is it worth the investment . And are there any negative consequences to building out these massive wind turbine . The Wind Turbines have become a prominent feature of Renewable Energy landscape worldwide. The energy is created 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 wind to create electricity as opposed to coal or natural gas, it is difficult for countries to adopt wind power as a primary source of energy. First off is expensive to buy or manufacture 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 winds turbine, each turbine costs between 2. 00 to 4000000. 00, and this investment is expected to be recouped over a long period of time. On average, it costs around 1300000. 00 per megawatt to construct a wind farm. 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. When 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 need to be replaced often, even if they are well maintained. 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, 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 . Festival of the cost of Wind Turbines have been dropping steadily and the last 20 years have 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 for 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 no, you dont need to buy feel to run it. The seal is free, it comes from the sun. Theres only 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 one of 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. Another reason why the u. K is so fortunate is that 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 has their efficiency improved and what innovations do see shaping the future of wind energy . The 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, that they, 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 2 Wind Turbines have been getting told her and told her and bigger and bigger. Nowadays, you can buy the Wind Turbines with a radius of a 130 meters. Now thats a diameter of 260 meters. So these Wind Turbines, a 300 meters above the lando above the sea. One interesting thing is that these 2 button uh 2 by the so very large. But you cannot make them off show because you cant put them in the trailer and then trying to corner when you get to, to bend in the road. They just to, to very low matter. I mean, the radius is a 150, so the diameter is 260 meters. So the answer is, uh, they made like an oil rigs. They made um, offshore, on the, on the show line. Now of all the Renewable Energy sources out there, thermo hydro solar and others where the wind rank should countries allocating more or less money towards wind. We jody, what should a wind turbine is, is net number 2 in the, in the, in the hierarchy the most effective today is hydro electric power just to give you an idea. Hydro electric produces 17 percent of the wells. The electricity wind turbine 7 to 8 percent. So and the cell is any 4 to 5 percent. And so a 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, well, usa is catching up. A china is doing and creatively well on Wind Turbines. But its such a huge country and it needs so much electricity. But even if all the they are swamped being the, the amount of turbines being produced worldwide, it doesnt make a huge difference to the total energy needs 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, the russian states never is as tight as one of the most sense community best. Most all set and set up the same assistance must be the one else holes. Question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin media machine, the state on the rush of funding and split the r t smith. Net keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services. For what question did you say a request for check the the mr. Charlotte, the brown, the soldier monument, was erected in 1947 in the estonian capital mazda associates authorities. Originally, bells above the burial site of troops remains its memorials of the soldiers who gave their lives in world war 2 will say, thats good, but i need to go to the department in the morning and forgive for really transition in 2007. The stony and government decided to relocate the monument from the city send to the gods by me to attempt the sooner frustrated to move divided. The population is stony as lodge of russian. Speaking communities strongly opposed to an intense rising pro, college and talent. These have since become known as the bronze knight drives me to bring people across the username. And this is the 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 so shorter is a conflict with the 1st law. Show your identification. We should be very careful about our professional intelligence at the point, obviously is to create a trust rather than fit the various mean with the artificial intelligence. We have so many of the demons, the robot must protect this phone. Existence was on the question. I mean, you clear up, she was like, i do live most schools do. If you look on the initial, do want to pull up a significant dealer post on zillow while it be almost getting used to the origin. But he also has to was done the newest frame on the Belief Systems to good ludy, what i see these the buses, the little dyson says this and uh, tutorial on both of the well, when energy bring significant benefits, it is essential to examine the challenge just opposes. Now, one of the big factors is that it is completely dependent on the winds of Mother Nature as to how much wind is forecasted for the day. If there is no wind at all, then all these turbines sit idle. When theres never constant and 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 in areas being prepared for a large scale offshore wind farms. And while there is no specific evidence that the noise resulting from the offshore wind sights could potentially caused the mortality of whales, there is a strong correlation. And recent studies have shown that certain marine species, such as whales and seals, might be effected by Wind Turbines, underwater noise. A study by oceana raised the concerns about the distortion of marine species eco location abilities 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 and fishing gear. Additionally, Noise Pollution from Wind Turbines has spark debates and local communities. The turbine, please make a lot of noise as they turn and birds and bats can be kendrick killed or injured to, despite these concerns, when the energy is the 2nd most widely use Renewable Energy source, with Global Installed wind Power Capacity exceeding 263. 00 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 were 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 deal 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 tax credits its about money is about how much these companies can make by being in bed 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, theres really no exposure, revise on wheels that 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 have done 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, you cant put where are you, how many Wind Turbines can you put up there . 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 satisfy the need by using when, nor solar yet. 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, youre 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 of know how to get there. And now many critics argue that winds intermittency compose reliability issues for the power red Power Companies addressing this concern and ensuring Consistent Energy supply. Well, that goes back to the bottom of the right. You still need new energy to have those turbines. This then into work, right . They dont just work purely on air only. And of course you have a power rate that isnt capable of handling everyday circumstances. I mean, we have, we have have blackouts when weather gets to watch 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 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 and 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. And 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, it is our problem because were very accessible to be hacked by just about anybody right. Now. Some studies have suggested that when Energy Projects might not be as economically viable as proponents claim. So what laws and wind are they pointing out a miss . Her initial applies use the windows not create because were ginger pending. We know the sounds out every day, but there isnt a window 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 that still cant drive the power to power the right. Is there any validation to the Wind Turbines . Effect the marine life and farming wales seals and see birds . I dont know about uh what they do, the environment specifically. I cant accommodate cuz i dont know the answer. I would suspect not other than birds that might, that might slice 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 running coal and they represent 40 percent of the world. They are going to can do. In fact, china is dropped any, any projection of the climate recently. And of course, its 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 using on fossil fuels and not worry about the climate. Yeah. And joe, the government, whos behind us polio says a for the, for example, josh, or want to put a plan together for the ones in the class. And one thats going to be right instead of making ridiculous threats of, of stopping, you know, Different Things like gas stoves, water heaters and things like this is totally ridiculous. And then positionally, our end is totally ridiculous. And the Energy Storage is often considered a crucial aspect of Renewable Energy integration. So what are the Viable Options for storage excess when energy and wouldnt that is slate. The cost of the batteries are still very expensive. What was a, again, no matter what we do, we cant control what the rest of the world that, 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 has a clean discounts in the world as it is. So now you, you think youre going to stop or her back to invest and that does have you believe it in Climate Change. But as far as ive heard the world does that mean because of the client for last 50 years, and yet here we are still in the same position with the temperature change a less than a quarter of the degree. And now the thing is when Energy Better for urban or for rural areas, i still think that the boast Energy Source that we have and the most for barriers for the fossil fuels. Because again, they can burn clean, they can remain clean and they have not had a dramatic effect on the environment as the officials would like us to believe. I think more of them is a cry and, and really not realistic. And i think this is the story that has been told because we, wed like to tell very tales 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 . 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 accompanied 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 november 22nd 2022 outraged Orthodox Christians confronted Ukrainian Security service offices, looking entrances and exits. The keys on the street were looking for our la russian spies among the monks. And we mean he was seen in the us uh and yours. And why not only reason for the brutal crack down one churches parishioner sits on a song about the throne being reason enough to condemn any Orthodox Christian attack, imprisoned and even killed. Im sure what i mean. I shut my answer. Pickups, company was store, you know, when youre starting a new install of the i see the used to use the same. You know, the same, we will send you both are used to miss dawn. This is new need we are in contract. The land of fire breathing volcanoes. Volcanoes vividly capture the imagination and they define our lives much more than you would expect. So what are they capable of and what makes contract as volcanoes stand out the the, the to produce to use it. Those who are interested in for the initial setup, both, im not going to be on the for to get your mama dora slash slash. Yeah. Because i moved enough. I just wonder was it was after much me on this problem because the symbol which is good for those who release to be know on to something on a computer screen. Would you do us the the hello and welcome to cross software. All things are considered on peter roosevelt. The western worlds ukraine project is facing some stark and probably insurmountable obstacles here is failing badly on the battlefield. Western aid is reaching limits and there is never been Popular Support for this elite driven project. The biggest loser is the crate. The
