Re: POTUS 45.39: Dick Pictures for Everyone!!!!!!!
Don't get me wrong - I have no problem limiting the fallout from crappy coal as a band aid. But we must globally lead innovation here or lose out permanently and the point is whether we can up our usage. The answer is yes. Check some stats from windeurope.org on wind as a source:
The output of a wind turbine depends on the turbine's size and the wind's speed through the rotor. An average onshore wind turbine with a capacity of 2.5–3 MW can produce more than 6 million kWh in a year – enough to supply 1,500 average EU households with electricity. An average offshore wind turbine of 3.6 MW can power more than 3,312 average EU households. The European industry has a 40% share of all wind turbines sold globally.
Oh and the EU has much...much...less open, poorly utilized land than the US. After reading this...doesn't it sound like coal and oil have too much special interest influence?
