Science and technology are so skewed by politics these days I am skeptical, especially if the government has a finger in it at all. I am not one for "normalizing" or "level-izing". I just figure how much a piece of equipment cost, how much it cost to maintain over its lifetime, and how much it will produce in its life time. If the amount it produces doesn't add up to as much as it cost, it is not viable.
There is a lot of fiberglass, carbon fiber, copper, steel and other things in a wind turbine that take fossil fuel to produce. There is also a lot of fossil fuel used for vehicles as well to manufacture, install, maintain, and recycle wind turbine parts. I think the science is being skewed by those who want wind energy to work at any cost.
Here is an article on the Electric Vehicles. I would assume something similar is happening with wind turbines, just nobody wants to catalog the deficiencies.
