Wind farm turbines wear sooner than expected, says study
"The analysis of almost 3,000 onshore wind turbines — the biggest study of its kind —warns that they will continue to generate electricity effectively for just 12 to 15 years.
The wind energy industry and the Government base all their calculations on turbines enjoying a lifespan of 20 to 25 years.
The study estimates that routine wear and tear will more than double the cost of electricity being produced by wind farms in the next decade."
Well so much for Old Crock and Crick's fantasy wind power.. 2-3 times more expensive upkeep than the US wind energy committee base budgeted for in their estimates... Who could not of seen this one coming?
