When we are honest about it. How much waste is there from a coal or gas power plant? It takes a wind turbine less than a day to make up for all the oil in the gears (vs if you burned the oil in a power plant), and they run for years after that.

I don't know these answers, that's why I'd like more people that were knowledgable to talk about the entire carbon cycle of wind turbines with actual numbers and sources.

Many people have discussed this. You can simply google and read to realize that your concerns are unfounded.

Asking someone to go Google something is not a debate, it just shows your ignorance on the topic.

Also throwing out random statements and saying "trust me bro, Google it" is not a valid way to debate or source your statements.

If you're so confident in your ability to find the answer, by all means provide it.
