coal to build wind turbines provides a 50 times return

Coal to Build Wind Turbines

While over 260t steel, 300t iron ore, 170t coking coal are used to build a 4MW wind turbine, the energy from a wind turbine is 660 times more. The wind turbine produces 420GWh electricity over its 30-year life, while the equivalent amount of coal electricity would require 290,988t of coal. Therefore, wind energy is a much cleaner and more sustainable option.
