waiting you to make a Nuclear energy video on the new tech.
@jameslozano1950
Do a video on what is actually used to make each wind tower work also cost of installing and at what point the wind tower actually starts off setting the cost of the job!
@Xyanider
"Cost are coming down all them time with many governments now offering more incentives to encourage more uptick." If you are referring to the incentives being the reason why they are "cheaper", then this statement would not be correct. The government just subsidizes some of the cost of the wind turbines, this does not make them cheaper is it just that an enterprise has to pay less to install them. The rest of the cost is still there but is covered by the government. I know it is a nagging statement but it is important that to understand, that just because somebody else covers part of the cost of something, that this would in turn make it "cheaper". Imagine if you want to buy a bun for 0.50 Cents and I give you 0.25 Cent. That does not mean the bun is "cheaper", somebody else just covered 50% of cost so it "appears cheaper". Ultimately prices will only really get lower when the market would increase production while demand stays about the same or does not grow in the same manner as production does.

They're building them wrong. This is why they're problematic
@1984xlx
Thank you for the objective view of the subject.

We will all be living in old turbine blades eating grass and blue mussels.
@deltaflight
I worked for Vestas, one of the largest wind turbine companies in the world. We would have to wait at times six to eight hours for a work break or lunch. The shifts were 12 hours long with mandatory overtime that went on for months. I left the company. I don't know what working conditions are like now. A worker died there when a heavy piece of equipment fell on him.
@popokiobake
Why aren't the blades being made out of bamboo? Instead of polymers
@plal9459
This technology is a dead end 🤷♂️
@pietrom16
All "alternative" energies have a single common issue: they rely on a *low energy density* source. This implies: - High costs (even in terms occupied surface). - Low efficiency. *High energy density* sources, on the other hand, are compact and cheaper to run, especially nuclear power.
@ppipowerclass
There is a channel on here (James Biggar), and he has a step by step video series on how he built his windmill. He made the blades out of wood. The nice thing about wind too, is it can make power at night! I am honestly looking at property right now because I want to put several windmills up for power and farm crypto. Solar too!
@dan5072
So, people in the comment section: would we rather have something that causes mild noise OR coal-powered plants that release tons of CO2, require A LOT of non-renewable resources, and destroy the environment?
@jpmoench21
This is a great comprehensive video Matt. Thank you!
@DragNetJoe
The service life seems really low. I live near several large wind farms and a significant percentage of the turbines appear to be inoperative.
@joeyjitzel5469
As soon as you lied about wind turbines being cost effective I was out. Shame on you.
@markpownall6967
Most other types of power production is safer and much more beneficial to the environment. The turbines kill birds , fish and the carbon footprint is ridiculous. I notice you forgot about the vast amount of concrete to make the base. Nuclear is by far the cleanest and safest.
@ddee2501
We don't need to increase our energy production through renewables, we need to decrease our energy usage !!
@charleswood6332
Ah! Magic words there. "cost going down as the government !offers incentives" AOC is truly proud of you on that one. Free stuff!
@shadowchaser19816
Comparing pros and cons with all other options, off-shore wind power is still the best choice.
