This conversation discusses the potential dangers of wind turbines and the idea that supporting wind energy could indirectly support domestic violence. Anecdotal reports of ice being thrown by wind turbines and causing damage to cars on the Autobahn are mentioned, along with the belief that this can lead to increased aggression and domestic violence. In summary, the conversation highlights the potential risks and unintended consequences of promoting renewable energy sources.

... So if you support wind energy, you support domestic violence."
One of the best non-sequitur statements in a long time. :rofl:

I did hear an anecdotal report that was interesting. Allegedly, large chunks of ice were being thrown by wind turbines and landing on the Autobahn.

1. What are the main disadvantages of wind energy?
The main disadvantages of wind energy include its intermittency, visual and noise impact, and potential harm to wildlife.
2. Is wind energy more expensive than other forms of energy?
In general, wind energy is becoming increasingly cost-competitive with other forms of energy, but initial installation costs can still be high.
3. Can wind turbines cause health issues for nearby residents?
There is no scientific evidence to support claims that wind turbines cause negative health effects on nearby residents.
4. How much land is needed for a wind farm?
The amount of land needed for a wind farm depends on the size and number of turbines, but typically ranges from 1 to 3 acres per megawatt of installed capacity.
5. What happens to wind turbines at the end of their lifespan?
Many components of wind turbines can be recycled or repurposed, and some companies offer decommissioning and recycling services for old turbines.
