It’s All Over For Europe’s Green Deal

Wind power in Germany is a growing industry. The installed capacity was 55.6 gigawatt (GW) at the end of 2017, with 5.2 GW from offshore installations. In 2019, a quarter of the country's total electricity was generated using wind power, compared to an estimated 9.3% in 2010.

Looks like wind is doing well in Germany.

Does that include depreciation? ... 20 GW of that total is still new, the machines are just installed ... repairs, maintenance and replacement are all real costs ... looks like Germany was really pushing from 2013 to 2017 ... what's this look like 2033 or 2037? ...

By then most if not all of them will be scrap.

That is actually one of the points in Moore's Documentary, they do become crap, many last only 10-20 years, then left standing idle.
