•042426• new interview of #zhanglinghe with Movie News for "The Answer is Earth" documentary 💬🌱 ZLH🚀: this is a small souvenir they gave me when I visited the wind turbine manufacturing plant. 👤: I know you really like these kinds of things. ZLH🚀: yes, this is the motor of the wind turbine, located at the highest point of the turbine shaft. these are the blades. they look small now, but in reality, when I went to the wind turbine manufacturing plant, it was about 80 meters long. really huge. and the proportions might not be accurate. when we stood below it, it was incredibly impressive. it works like this: the wind comes from this direction and drives the blades to rotate. then the motor converts that kinetic energy into electrical energy. there are cables below that can directly transmit the electricity to a substation, where it's stepped up or down in voltage, and then sent to places on land where the electricity is used. that's how a wind turbine works. 👤: it's a very meaningful souvenir.

🇺🇸 ENERGY SEC. WRIGHT: WIND AND SOLAR CAN’T REPLACE RELIABLE ENERGY "The problem with wind is that the wind doesn't always blow. If the wind is blowing, you can say it's powered by wind power, then the wind stops or the wind gets weaker. Something has to fill that gap in always be there. So when you add wind and solar onto a grid, you don't remove the need for coal plants, for nuclear plants, for natural gas plants, that work all the time. So to maintain two grids instead of one grid is always more expensive." Source: Fox News

In the distance is an Offshore Wind Farm This is a wind farm that was built in the ocean, there are some located on the east coast The cost to built one of these farms is extremely expensive, about $2-$6 billion+ per wind farm The amount of energy they generate is about $150,000 million+ per year Over 20–30 years, these farms can generate billions in total energy value but they are extremely expensive to built up front

CNN: He claimed that China builds a lot of wind turbines and manufactures them for others, but refuses to use it itself, barely uses wind power. In fact, China is the world leader in the use of wind power. It is building additional wind power in China far faster than the pace at which the U.S. Is building in the United States itself. So the idea that China is just, you know, foisting this terrible source of energy on other countries while refusing to use it is a reversal of reality.

Worlds largest battery - beatiful pumped storage. Last week I visited Anji in central China. Its home to Changlongshan pumped storage plant. Deep inside the mountains water is pumped 400 meters by solar and wind power from a lower to an upper reservoir. When the sun is not shining or the wind is not blowing or there is peak energy demand, energy from the hydro turbines is released into the grid. The plant is huge, but fit well into the terrain showing we can build big and respect nature all the same. It creates a seemless system of solar, wind and hydro 24 hours a day. This is the future of green energy!

The assembly of wind turbine blades involves the coordinated effort of several operators and an enormous crane, like this one at the Molar de Molinar wind farm in Spain. This project is transitioning from 75 turbines to 11 newer and more powerful models.

“Work has been suspended at a major wind farm project south west of Warwick after storms snapped a wind turbine blade. McIntrye Wind Farm recently connected some of its turbines to the grid, those works are on hold as it investigates the incident.” “The 458MW Coopers Gap wind farm in south west Queensland, the newest and biggest wind project built to date in Australia – is to undergo major repairs after faults were found in its commissioning process. AGL, which operates the $850 million project and is a joint owner through the Powering Australia Renewables Fund, said in a statement that the blades of one of the 123 turbines will have to be replaced entirely, while GE Catcon is also going to replace “generators” – referring to the equipment in the nacelle at the top of the wind tower – in a further 50 turbines.” •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Not only are wind farms unreliable in terms of wind dependent generation. They break easily as we saw last week on the Darling Downs. If the blades on a wind farm can’t survive a summer storm on the Darling Downs they will be useless. This is just another example of wind farms being unreliable. A few years ago wind farm had to replace 50 out of 123 turbines just after it was commissioned. Australia cannot not afford to be pursuing Net Zero policies being pushed by the two major parties. We should focus on using our coal, uranium and gas resources instead of imported materials.

Given the weather forecast this week, there’s a lot of discussion about introducing a maximum temperature limit in schools, a cap on how warm it can be. Which is all when and good, but what actually happens when it reaches that limit?

Elon Musk: Here's what we need to have a fully sustainable energy economy. “There are three elements to a sustainable energy future. One is sustainable energy generation, which is primarily wind and solar. There's also hydro, geothermal. I'm actually pro-nuclear. I think nuclear is fine. But it's going to be primarily solar and wind as the primary generators of energy. The second part is you need batteries to store the solar and wind energy, because the sun doesn't shine all the time, the wind doesn't blow all the time. So it's a lot of stationary battery packs. And then you need electric transport. So electric cars, electric planes, boats. And ultimately we can have a fully sustainable energy economy. And it's those three things: solar/wind, stationary battery pack, electric vehicles. So then what are the limiting factors on progress? The limiting factor really will be battery cell production. So that's going to really be the fundamental rate driver.” Source: TED, April 14, 2022.

2. This whole wind argument is silly, yes he represents wind, but wind can be considered many things, both breezing, and stormy chaotic. And I find it ridiculous the wind glazers mischaracterize the whole "wind aura" or "wind attacks" as if Sonic physically can control wind like some sort of Air Bender when in reality the wind is the aftermath of his speed, a basic reaction of physics. Like, EVERY Single example the wind defenders use prove this point, its all a simple shockwave after he runs past

Came across this awesome innovation to harness the power of the wind through tulip shaped wind turbines ! Flower Turbines, based in the US and the Netherlands is installing small flower shaped windmills which pose no danger to birds and other wildlife, particularly in urban settings. The company claims that they create very low noise which is undetectable to humans. This “eco-art” turbine is supposedly cost effective & easy to install making wind energy available for everybody. We must look at these options at #TNClimateMission

I asked Lindsey Graham if there's a limit to the number of civilian casualties that the US would accept in Gaza? GRAHAM: If somebody asked us after World War II, is there a limit what you would do to make sure that Japan and Germany don't conquer the world? Is there any limit what Israel should do to the people who are trying to slaughter the Jews? The answer is no, there is no limit.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture is forecasting a 25% downturn in farm profits, but some farmers in Iowa are installing wind turbines to offset some of those losses. There are now more than 6,000 wind turbines in Iowa that churn out approximately 60% of the state's energy.

China has one of the largest and most integrated electricity systems. The ARISE NEWS team traveled by Train from Dalian to Shenyang (final destination, Beijing) and I saw massive Wind Turbines. China is the world’s top producer of Wind turbines. Official figures put installed capacity at 640 Gigawatts in 2025 But that’s capacity. Wind doesn’t blow all year. What did the Wind Turbines actually generate? About 1,000 Terrawatt-Hours (TWh). That’s 1 Trillion Kilowatt-Hours (kWh) That’s about 22 times Nigeria’s entire output. Average 5,000MW over a year x 8,760 hours is 43.8 TWh What about the cost of building an onshore wind Turbine? A 5 Megawatt Wind Turbine costs about $4m - $5m according to IRENA (International Renewable Energy Agency) The Turbine alone isn’t enough. There’s still Transmission, Substations, Batteries, metering and more. Electricity costs money. #China #Wind #Renewables #WindEnergy

A modern wind turbine looks deceptively simple from the outside. The largest onshore turbines now use blades stretching beyond 80 metres, sweeping more than 20,000 m² of air. Yet the entire structure rotates at only around 10-20 RPM. Actually, inside the nacelle is a precision gearbox that transforms this slow, high-torque rotation into the 1,000-1,800 RPM required by the generator. This gearbox is one of the most demanding mechanical systems in renewable energy. It continuously transmits megawatts of power, while surviving changing wind loads, vibration and billions of fatigue cycles over a 20-25 year lifespan. Inside are planetary gear stages, precision-ground alloy steel gears, advanced bearings, lubrication systems and cooling circuits. Some of the largest geared turbines contain close to 1000+ liters of specialised synthetic oil to manage lubrication and heat during continuous operation. A single large onshore turbine can cost around $4-5 million, with complete projects costing significantly more after foundations, roads, electrical systems and installation. The goal is for the machine to recover its capital cost within roughly 5-10 years, then continue producing electricity for decades. This is why reliability is the biggest challenge. Gearboxes, bearings, generators and electrical systems remain critical failure points, pushing engineers toward better materials, sensors and predictive maintenance. The scale of this industry is enormous. China has become the world’s largest wind turbine manufacturing and exporting hub, with several Chinese companies among the largest turbine suppliers globally. Building a wind turbine is not just about capturing wind in an efficient manner, It is about creating a machine that can convert wind energy into electricity for millions of hours with minimal human intervention and sustain millions of load cycles.

"Almost all wind turbines are produced in China. We need to ask China, how many wind power stations do they have? So far, not a single one has been found. They use coal and oil, gas, and a bit of nuclear energy, but they don't have wind turbines. They produce and sell them to suckers like Europe and what the United States used to be," Trump's statement about wind energy at a meeting with oil industry leaders became the most notable, together with statements about Greenland, in the European segment of social networks.
