Stated differently, when running this wind turbine replaces 600,000 liters of natural gas per hour.

Nov 15, 2026, 4:42 PM@bert_hubert I genuinely thought some idiot had thrown a longbow into it, in some crazy, anti-woke sabotage attempt of renewables.
Nov 15, 2026, 4:43 PM@bert_hubert liters? The mass of gas in a liter varies from a lot if it is liquid to almost zero if the pressure is very low...

@huitema natural gas is almost always specified in cubic meters, somehow, at 15C and standard atmospheric pressure. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion_cubic_metres_of_natural_gas

@bert_hubert I was not aware of that. Thanks. But then, the wikipedia page shows the standard is bifurcated. Qatari liters or Russian liters? Might be better to work with Joules...

@huitema I'll let them know :-)

@colinburgess @bert_hubert In Florida, the capacity would be expressed in Olympic swimming pools.

@colinburgess @bert_hubert But on more serious note, yes, wind turbines are great. The downside for me is that the most efficient ones are gigantic. I would like a small one in my yard, to complement the solar panels and recharge the home batteries during winter days, and nights, but have not found something that works and fits the building code yet.

peter honeymanpeterhoneyman@a2mi.socialNov 15, 2026, 5:11 PMEquivalently, saving 1.5 tonnes of CO₂ emissions per hour (at full power and compared to an efficient gas plant)
EndicottRoad59EndicottAuthor@mastodon.socialNov 15, 2026, 6:02 PM@bert_hubert I understand how efficient wind turbines have become. The administration fights against them because their use cuts into the profits of the fossil fuel industry, who helped fund Donny Boy's campaign.
