54. Stick with fossil fuels then. I'm sure burning oil and natural gas is much better.

You anti- winderss are something.
"The UK's wind power plants significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions by displacing electricity generation from fossil fuels. Here's a summary of the impact:
* Zero Emissions at Point of Generation: Wind turbines themselves produce no CO2 when generating electricity.
* Significant Displacement of Fossil Fuels: Every unit of electricity generated by wind reduces the need for fossil fuels like coal and natural gas, directly lowering overall emissions from the power sector.
* Low Lifecycle Emissions: While there are emissions associated with the manufacturing, construction, operation, and decommissioning of wind turbines, these are very small compared to the emissions saved over their operational lifespan. Studies show wind energy has one of the lowest lifecycle carbon footprints of any energy source, typically around 0.011 - 0.015 kgCO2e/kWh, which is less than 2.5% of the estimated life cycle emissions from a natural gas plant.
* Substantial Carbon Savings:
* The carbon saved throughout a wind turbine's lifespan can be up to 50 times greater than the emissions from its manufacture, construction, operation, and decommissioning.
* An average wind turbine can offset approximately 1,000 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is equivalent to removing 500 petrol cars from the road annually.
* Switching from coal-fired generation to wind power can reduce carbon emissions from energy production by more than 99%.
* Overall Impact on UK Emissions: Wind power has been crucial in reducing the UK's greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions from the power sector since 1990.
It's important to note that while wind power is incredibly effective at reducing emissions, challenges remain, such as ensuring grid infrastructure can handle the increasing amount of renewable energy and avoiding curtailment (wasting wind power due to grid bottlenecks)."
