Newer Wind Turbines Destined To Fail Sooner -- April 1, 2022

One of the themes for 2022 (tabbed at top of blog; link here):

The energy transition is dead. Tracked here

A reader, this morning, submitted this, a perfect example of what Peter Zeihan means when he said "energy transition is dead." We simply can't afford it (and it won't save the world anyway):

I admire their use of the term renewable energy. 
The lifespan of the new, high output windmills is drastically lower than ones built just a few generations ago. The dynamic loads are nearly impossible to deal with so the generators and blades are prone to failure at an alarming rate. 
If only they had a time machine to suspend us until the actual renewable energy replacement system is fully built and as reliable as the system we have. I believe they have met their demise and are just playing out the last act. 
We the people and our economy can’t cover the expense of the renewable energy transformation at the current rate, let alone one that would actually replace the current system. We have met the intersection of the climate dogma verses reality.
