I read in one of my trade magazines that the transmission weighs 40 tons, is 200' up in the air, and is warranted by the manufacturer for 4 years. Maybe this is why there are always a couple of windmills in any wind farm that aren't turning. I don't suppose anyone is allowed to calculate the "carbon footprint" of all that concrete, aluminum, and steel, and the fabrication, transport, and installation thereof, and charge it against the greenness of the electricity that's eventually generated. I suspect that all in all it would have been better for the Earth to burn that oil and coal in a power plant directly.
