Actually, the little point that undermines this litany is buried right in the middle: "Undoubtedly, a well-sited and well-built wind turbine would generate as much energy as it embodies in less than a year."

So, do turbines last more than a year? Much more than a year? Ok then!

I missed that in the huge bunch of less relevant numbers. This makes the article an even bigger troll, trying to hide the true number. Also the talk about "intermittent" is quite misleading. Yes wind power depends on the wind. But that is quite well predictable in those places, where you would install a wind generator. With a reasonable electrical grid, this can be quite well managed.
