Take Taiwan’s now minorty ruling party DPP as a lesson.
DPP’s power-generation policy has been gradually phasing out nuclear power and developing expensive photovoltaic and coal (world rank 5 buying Russia coal, and lung adenocarcinoma has become the main cause of lung cancer in Taiwan) power generation, leading to corruption cases with money flowing into DPP’s pocket. Now power outages occur almost every day in various parts of Taiwan (and the gov’t claims TW has no power shortage issue when it is building more advanced chip foundries, consuming much more eletricity), and DPP always blames it to little animals accidentally touching electrical equipment. (Google “雲豹 能源 弊案”)
DPP has more than enuf tax payers’ money to buy cyber armies, put money in its own pocket, pose as a democratic country and buy US support thru undelivered weaponry purchase. DPP’s incumbent president Lai was once labeled as CCP insider by DPP former president Tsai’s cyber army, for he intended to run against her in 2020 presidential primary (https://youtu.be/lNaui-b0Dpk&). A DPP-certified CCP insider. LOL.
DPP, which got minority vote in the president and Congress in 2024, has hundreds of billions of Taiwan dollars in corruption cases, but it is judicially persecuting Taiwan’s third largest party, the TPP, in a finicky way. Google “民進黨 司法迫害 site*.tw” then click the News tab.
Taiwan is an independent country.
KMT are a bunch of authoritarian loving traitors.
Oh and free Tibet.
I talked with a mechanic for the ultra big wind turbines once. He said they use tons of oil and are constantly leaking.
I talked with a a mechanic once who said that the tiny amount leaked is minuscule compared to emissions from non-renewables.
That sounds positive to me. However, we cannot tout these as being such a great source of clean energy, especially one to aid in the challenges of eliminating fossil fuels when they use plenty of those.
You’re assuming “oil” and “crude oil” are the same thing.
Even if they were using crude in one of these it would be a considerable carbon cost saving over the lifetime.
Oh but we can, these overall are great sources of clean energy.
