The generators should be at ground level and shaft driven. The towers should also be on pivots so they can be lowered to the ground to change blades. At the speed they turn everything should be greased not oiled.

Andrew - Maintenance on offshore oil rigs is difficult and dangerous. Maintenance on Nuclear Power Stations is very very difficult and very dangerous.
If you want to know more about difficult and dangerous work I am sure the CFMEU can arrange for you to spend a day in a Tower Crane on a major building site - there is no facilite for a comfort break on a Tower Crane - so you may need a nappy!

More clean coal power plants..Just like the rest of the world..
All piss and wind Bowen power tripping Muppet will cut down trees to put up inefficient windmills..🤔😂

They are useless, expensive, high maintenance, dangerous, destructive and an environmental hazard and eye sore. We all know or should know that climate change is a scam for more tax and the "scientists" who cook the research do so to keep their "careers". Follow the money - not the hyperbole. Are you awake yet?

Renewables will need a lot of maintenance at huge cost.
@mystikmind2005 Says:
So, let me get this straight, humans pollute the planet by manufacturing cheap crap that is designed not to last, so to solve the problem humans build giant wind turbines out of..... cheap crap that doesn't last and as a result needs dangerous and expensive maintenance??

Utter shit … difficult and dangerous!!! Worked between this industrail and gas for 15.. seen one bird that flew in to a blade
Rope access and W@H although have there risks if procedures are followed it’s one of the safest industries
What is the percentage of failures? Over opiated ppl that know absolutely nothing!!! Fact is fossil fuels and renewable have a role should not be one demonising another

Climate change ideology is dangerous for the masses.

There's red-hot fury across regional areas about these wind farms and the power lines the government is running across prime agricultural land. People are fed up!

any comment from Minister Bowen? 🤡 🎪

What!!
Did you forget about being expensive as well?

That renewable energy is not renewable.
@kkcw6668 Says:
Mr Bolt : have you ever noticed how well braced transmission line towers are? Primarily its to resist the elements. Have you calculated the voltage drop due to elec series resistance & insertion losses from wind turbine locations to the point of feed in to grid? Its considerable. Just suppose you placed wind turbines along transmission line tower routes, can you calculate the efficiencies through minimising electrical 'losses'?

Oh, but the wind is Free....we are saving the planet - FFS!!!
@Berserker978 Says:
Most turbines cost in the $2-4 million dollar range. Operation and maintenance runs an additional $42,000-$48,000 per year according to research on wind turbine operational cost.
