Clean Renewable? There Is No Wind Energy Without Fossil Fuels

Wind turbines generate electricity at the San Gorgonio Pass Wind Farm near Palm Springs, Calif. Many people today praise wind and solar energy as clean energy and trust them as the power sources of the future, the sources that will replace fossil fuels.

The shocking truth is that wind energy is impossible without fossil fuels.

Fossil fuels are not merely a supporting source, but the very foundation of wind turbines and the energy derived from them.

In plain language, the production, installation, and maintenance of a wind turbine is completely dependent on fossil fuel or fossil fuel derivatives.

Wind energy cannot be termed clean unless fossil fuel is also clean.

Even during the operational phase, wind turbines are reliant on fossil fuel or nuclear energy to provide backup when the turbines become non-operational when there's no wind or the wind speed is either too low or too high.

The mainstream media and the radical environmentalists have misled the public by proclaiming that wind energy is clean and fossil fuels are not, when the former is a derivate of the latter.
