I've said this before 3H but the Green energy movement has been a disaster for everyone that's tried it. Intrinsically they're all terrible ideas.
Wind turbines as currently legislated in the US can only have certain essential parts (like the blades) manufactured in China. China has complete and total legal control of wind turbine manufacturing in the US. If they wanted to turn us off, they could and they would have complete and absolute control over the US energy grid. They then have to send these parts overseas via cargo ship. They absolute decimate ecosystems as far as fish and birds go and have wildly shifted migration patterns. The area around wind turbines become aquatic dead zones. They can't survive there. The materials aren't recyclable. They do seem actually have a negative impact on humans living in the environment around them due to vibrations. They also fail when there's no wind. Heck, solar is more efficient. The only reason there's a push for wind over solar is because wind is technically cheaper. Plus they can't withstand high winds and have a high rate of failure in extreme conditions.
Solar is a completely different can of worms. Those things create heat domes that can fry each other causing mass failures, giving them light bulb syndrome. They're also non-recyclable. As of 2020s there was only one company currently recycling solar panels and the entire process was by hand. Once solar panels go bad though, they're carcinogenic. The big problem with solar panels is space. I'm actually not necessarily opposed to solar panels as new technology has them being mounted over things like parking lots, but they're still not really all that green. They're good for optimizing a building's power grid and giving them auxiliary power, but the output for running entire countries just isn't there. In the future they should be on most buildings though for back up generators.
They just don't meet the demand we need.
