The radius looks to be about thirty yards. Please explain.

The mass and rotational force of a wind turbine is so great that you need a HUGE base to support the motion in 360 degrees.

Another meme where they cannot get their information correct.

Big difference between 1D and 3D space.

Concrete pours are often measured in cubic yards, or yards for short.

You're going to need steel, copper, and magnets for any power generator. And probably concrete too.

Exactly. So why waste the expenditure on inefficient and low yield production methods?

How much more power, do you suppose, would be produced if you took all the concrete and metal from these windmills and use them for hydro-electric dams?

Concrete manufacturing actually helps reduce pollution from coal power plants.

The ash collected from the scrubber systems are a primary ingredient in concrete.
