Interesting chart shows who uses the most electricity over all per capita.

Seems to me that wind power generators are not providing much electrical power.

I suspect the CO2 footprint of these behemoths is greater than what they are supposed to save in the long term.
Factor in the human cost of the mining, destruction of land and habitat and displacement of the locals in the mined areas and so long as we have these minor details hidden from us then we can all feel good about these wind farms.

It's the same with the manufacturing of mobile phone PCBs. The workers suffer terribly from the chemicals used in the manufacturing processes, but so long as it doesn't affect us we are happy. It's the "Not in my backyard" mentality. That's why we export coal to other countries to pollute their air while we feel good that we aren't polluting the atmosphere by burning coal.

Regards Axtyr.

The atmosphere over Australia is not polluted with green house gasses.

It is very obvious where all of the worlds green house gasses and atmospheric pollution accumulate.
