How much oil is used for wind turbines? Can we use renewable lubricants?
Nice read, so they still use crude oil based lubricants. I think solar power is still king, but wind will be vital in countries with less sun.
Yup but even then, using crude oil refined to lubictate a wind turbine for 12-18 months worth of power is a better use than burning it for a few seconds of power.
And people are working towards recycling waste lubricating oil back into lubricating oil. https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3298/12/5/135

I know, there’s just a lot of misinformation fighting against wind power right now.
I’m not sure they use oil I thought they use graphite based lubricants.
