Concrete is considered the 3rd largest CO2 emitter, accounting for 4 to 8% of the world's CO2. A typical wind turbine uses approximately 550 tons of concrete. The production of 1 m³ of concrete requires 2,775 MJ of energy. Most of this energy comes from oil (90 barrels or so per turbine base).
* Note all the steel also required.
 The remote locations add to the huge cost and emissions, and the massive expense of connecting them to the grid.
 One might argue that their life expectancy ensures they cannot pay back for the emissions produced to install them.

Nature magazine had to retract it's very influential paper about the cost of climate change. They claimed it would cpost $47 trillion dollars, although I don't know over how long. It was all wrong, the modelling so faulty that they retracted the entire paper because their were too many errors. Meaning it was all horseshit.

Here we go again. This time in Vermont.

Electric buses unveiled with great fanfare as symbols of progress and climate virtue are now sitting idle in the snow, while the supposedly outdated diesel fleet does the actual work of moving people. Taxpayers paid millions for these vehicles, and right now, they can't do the job they were purchased to do.

Green Mountain Transit added five new electric buses to its fleet last year, announcing the move in the warmth of summer. Officials praised the decision as a major step toward Burlington's net-zero energy goals and reduced carbon emissions. The buses were billed as modern, clean, and capable, each equipped with a 520-kilowatt-hour battery and a theoretical range of up to 258 miles on a single charge.

They cannot run in Vermont's cold winters.
