They actually require diesel generators for that reason, grid goes down and no power to furl the turbines or lock the blades and it's runaway and goodbye turbine. They use gearboxes to shift gears and run motors, some are hydraulic due to the torque. Mechanical gearboxes would probably explode with the levels of torque from the blades spinning.

Quick Google 2MW is 30,000 tonnes
-
Is the word venerable, like those weird lodge types. Fancy handshakes, brown envelopes and such 😉
-
How long does it take to overcome the in bedded carbon from the actual turbine, thousands of tonnes of concrete and rebar plus all the other guff. If it's sooooo free why isnt it cheap then ?.
-
In my mind it should only ever be on roof tops, especially large supermarkets and factories and DIY stores. Agricultural sheds too, happy if they came to an arrangement. I have no objections in the desert for those solar collector jobbies that even work for hours after dark.

Solar, nuclear & hydro. Wind turbines are just a cash cow boon doggle blot on the landscape along with batteries.
-
Any loctite used ?, don't know if they have nuts or spring washers.

It's that and whilst most higher end tools are brushless DC, effectively small three phase motors they're usually standardised 24,36,48v for example as they're off the shelf motors. The lower end gear is just cheap DC brushed motors with very little smarts so you either burn out the brushes or the motor. It's a bit like comparing an old 90s battery drills to today's wrist breaking ones.

But back to my oh so terrible facts, so refusing to refill a lake that obviously had an effect on the best part of half the world including Afghanistan is sooooo out of the question. Then trying to tell me freezing the odd granny will solve climate change. Humm, I smell bovine somewhere and it's supposed to even have university educated wall paper. Maybe Nobel price winner bovine excrement.
-
And do you know the phrase about understanding a subject ?, it did apply predominantly to quantum physics but is pretty good for all subjects. It's not a conspiracy it's an actual fact, so you're trying to tell me a lake according to wiki 26,300 square miles has zero impact on this climate you keep banging on about is in some existential death throws ?
-
Maybe if you're friend actually did his job we'd actually have an accurate weather forecast that lasted longer than the time it took to look outside of the window. I've said it before it's just climate, refill the aral sea and maybe I'll start listening to the hysterical climate types when they realise a sea the size of Ireland had quite an effect on the climate. As it's funny how the date the climate change starts coincidentally coincides with the dates the Russians turned off the taps to the largest freshwater lake in the world.
-
Yeah, it's called earth when you use a bit of reason, common sense and knowing the earth isn't burning or the sky falling. And any parent that teaches such end of the world, we're all doomed, nature is going to kill us claptrap should be locked up for abuse. What did the Victorians ever do for us, well they gave us the education to actually understand the world and not hide away under the stairs cowering because some plant food is being emitted at substantially lower levels that most of the industrial age.
-
I might be blinkered but widely read about the actual realities of the world. Your just happily standing there singo from the I indoctrinated hymn book whilst tied to the post with the blindfold, shouting I was just following orders.

Are you also one of those delusional recycling types, obsessed that every scrap of plastic goes into the bin because it's gets "Recycled" ?. You were sold a con about recycling and CO2, the Swedish guy worked at the UN with Jordan Peterson. Take their opinion even with a sceptical grain of salt but it's a very good argument against the money making scams your drum beating for. Doing more with less is always admirable, but a line between achievable and excessive has to be drawn.
-
And isn't all the UN emissions bs also factored against 1970s or something similar. Almost like you bang on about Co2 with zero comparison to before those dates, the Romans produced so much lead emissions it was visible in ice cores. Take a realistic look at things before you bang the drum about "think of the children"

Personally I'd rip it out and upgrade to something that's doesn't look like Meccano set design. How old is it out of interest, sure there's a 5 year rule on new things for parts availablity. -
Didn't hear you proclaiming all that with the serial hair sniffer that's still Kamala's boss
-
I'm not knocking trump, it's a two horse race and I prefer him to Kamala. It's South park, a douche or a turd sandwich. It's a binary choice, not ifs buts or maybe if this or that. In a Miami Vice style, You're op sec is blown, you're dead in the water, these are your choices
-
It's a bit like going to the dr's foaming at the mouth, well it could be rabies but as you're a lefty I diagnose rabid trump syndrome.
-
Oh, you think the left are any less choosey?. As it's obviously not working, maybe they think rabbit in the headlights is a political strategy?. What was it yesterday, working person.
-
I wonder if you just like going around chanting "greater good" whilst being judge Judy and executor?.
-
Nowhere near insane, watch any interviews with Donald and the general public generally goes well and they leave feeling listened too. Kamala, Kier, Albo, and most politicians have zero ability to talk, understand or even comprehend the people as they're soulless bureaucrats. You'd get more compassionate from a robot doing the Turing test, hell even a failed Turing test participant would have more empathy of them combined.
-
Or in other words. A glorified pen pushing political/bureaucratic automaton with zero soul Vs a human being?

Australia has zero nuclear, but has increasingly gone to burning gas. They have coal plants but they're very old and keep breaking when they are forced to fire them up due to demand, it's a stealth way of closing them as they won't build more due to climate bs. So most coal is exported and the Chinese built massive ports for it. The Oz grid makes ours look sane!
