1. So far, power production from wind power plants has not made a single penny in profit
2. A windmill contains 300 litres of oil. And only hydraulic oil can be used to lubricate a wind turbine. Hydraulic oil is one
of the most toxic fluids known. It is carcinogenic too. Plus there is glycol in the turbines as well.
3. Windmills kill large numbers of insects and birds. Although we are at the top of the food chain, it does not mean that
we are not dependent on all the other animals that are below us. We risk annihilating ourselves through a global
famine. This is going to affect us in ways that we have no way of foreseeing.
4. Windmills require a lot of physical space. They will also do permanent damage to the nature where they are installed.
Installing windmills offshore is also a bad idea.
5. The rotor blades are made of fibreglass. A certain amount of erosion occurs every day. So we spread larger
amounts of microplastics in nature. This will come back to us through the food we eat. You cannot avoid microplastics,
they are everywhere.
6. If the oil leaks out, the wind turbine will catch fire. The fire service cannot do anything about it, they cannot reach the
fire. The best you can hope for is that the fire does not spread to other windmills in the area.
7. When it is too windy, the rotor blades break.
8. When there is too little wind, no electricity is produced. Wind power is an unreliable source of energy.
9. Reduced mental and physical health for people and animals when windmills are installed in places where there should
be no windmills
