You see, we currently have 57,000 windmills, producing 275 kilo watts. Coal, produces 1,146 Kilo watts.

So, we only need to have 237,544 windmills. Well, not really , best sites already used. So, let's say around 275K. So, we need to build 218K more.

Well, a 2 megawatt windmill needs 1.5 acres.

We simply need to use 327,000 acres to do it.

Each windmill costs around 4 million a piece.

218K * 4 Million? Only 872 billion dollars.

Yet, green goobers think a project of this size happens in less than a yr.

Nope.
