Wind turbines are remarkable as wind power though, and the fossil fuel industry exaggerates the still unfortunate number of birds killed by them.

Fossil fuel industry is the one pushing for wind power, because guess what power is used to transport and install wind turbines. We need nuclear power, not wind power. A single medium-sized nuclear reactor can generate as much power as 900 wind turbines.

I guess China is installing so many wind turbines because they’re filthy capitalists, right?

What “fossil fuel” interests does China have to be the leader in installing wind turbines?

What kind of argument is that? lmao. The US is also installing wind turbines, they are based communists!

I could be wrong about fossil fuel industry supporting wind turbines, but you can’t make the argument that just because China does something that means that thing is automatically good.

The WEF is all gung-ho for wind power: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2023/05/greenertower-greener-steel-wind-power/

I guess the WEF is a bunch of communists and we should do everything they say.

Wind turbines are dumb and worse than nuclear power, I don’t care if Lenin himself rises from the dead and says wind power is the most communist thing ever.

China is a big advocate of wind power.

Relying on any one method though is stupid, a combination is needed.

So? So is the US, Scotland, Denmark… what does that have to do with wind turbines being bad for the environment, impossible to recycle and less efficient than the alternative (nuclear)?
