    Oh yes, also ‘wind turbines need oil lubricant’ - checkmate environmentalists.

    Never mind that they use a tiny fraction of the fossil fuels of a gas or coal plant.

    ‘Any step towards reducing fossil fuels is completely pointless if it uses even a tiny shred of fossil fuels’ is some deeply stupid logic that they keep falling back on.
