If a full energy audit is done, there are less emissions by burning lignite to generate power than from wind turbines: -emissions from mining coal to make steel -emissions from transporting coal -emissions from mining iron ore -emissions from transporting iron ore to steel mill -emissions from making steel -emissions from transporting steel -emissions from steel fabrication and casting -emissions from transporting wind turbine -emissions from erecting turbine -emissions from turbine maintenance cost of energy to do all the above......just burn the coal as it is far more environmentally friendly....and that is because coal has a high energy density.........wind and solar are only good for remote sites only, and for nutters who want to live off the grid.
