Energy transmission recycling Renewable Energy video Wind

The narrator goes to the offshore wind turbine to show us a 6.2 MW wind turbine.

The key takeaway is that these offshore wind turbines solve the wind turbine intermittency problem because it’s windy as hell out there 24 hours, 365 days a year.

He said the transmission line to southern Germany was supposed to be done in 2022 but public protest held it up until 2026 or even later.

In another website we see that wind turbine blades are repurposed as a shelter over bike racks.

The blades that are not repurposed are ground up and mixed into cement.

There are those who say that we have waited too long and that if we went to zero GHG emissions immediately, the CO2 and GHGs already in the atmosphere will cause the temperature to rise above the 1.5 degrees C, to more than 2 degrees. So yes, we need millions of machines or hundreds of billions of trees planted to reduce the atmospheric CO2. Yes, it is a Climate Crisis!

2021-09-22 Lentil Sloppy Joes – WFPB

Consumer Information food
on September 22nd, 2021 by - No Comments

Quote:

<< Dave West (said)

I do know other “vegans” who consume fake meats and processed vegan foods who also seem to be hurt by “healthy” foods. All folks would do far better with a balance of vegetables, legumes, whole grains, and a few nuts. Far from being “nuts”, the whole food, plant based (WFPB) community not only saves the planet, they are the most fit and healthy people I know. Substituting fat, salt, sugar, oil, flavor enhancers, “natural” flavors, and imitation vegan foods will injure those who choose to consume those highly promoted food-like substances. Let’s save the planet while looking after our own bodies. Fake meats is not the answer. Eating lentil based sloppy joes might be part of the answer.
