when I go to Truth, Donald Trump's page at it, I get a post from him and then a degenerate ad. Every other item is a degenerate ad.
it's sick.
I hate it. He should do better than allowing that on his page.
It's crap.

Putting it all together
Modern wind turbines use significant amounts of synthetic oil for lubrication, particularly in the gearbox and hydraulic systems
. The amount of oil varies significantly depending on the size and type of the turbine.
Wind turbine oil capacity
Older turbines: Smaller turbines from the 1980s may use around 10 gallons of oil or less.
Modern land-based turbines: A large modern turbine can require up to 60 gallons of oil in its gearbox. Some estimates place the total oil volume for lubrication at 80 gallons per turbine per year.
Larger offshore turbines: The biggest offshore turbines can require hundreds of gallons of specialized lubricant. For example, some 5-megawatt turbines may use up to 700 gallons of lubricant for the gearbox.
Transformers: The transformers associated with turbines also require oil for cooling and insulation.
Hydraulic systems: Oil is used in the hydraulic systems that control the pitch of the blades and yaw of the nacelle.
Types of oil used
The oil used in wind turbines is a high-performance synthetic oil, often based on crude oil, designed for long life and durability. The different types include:
Gear oil: Used in the gearbox to reduce friction and protect against wear.
Hydraulic oil: Used in the systems that control the blades and nacelle.
Bearing grease: Used for the main, pitch, and yaw bearings.
Oil changes
Unlike fuel that is continuously consumed, the oil in a wind turbine is a lubricant that is periodically replaced.
Frequency: The oil in a wind turbine is typically changed every 1 to 5 years, depending on the turbine design, operating conditions, and oil type. Synthetic oils have extended the service life, reducing the frequency of changes and maintenance costs.
Oil analysis: Technicians take samples of the oil during maintenance to determine if a change is necessary, extending intervals for as long as possible.
Disposal: The used oil is recycled or disposed of properly, not released into the environment.
Context of oil usage
While wind turbines use oil, it is a very different type of consumption compared to fossil fuel power plants.
Recycled oil: Used turbine oil can be re-refined and reused.
Lubricant vs. fuel: The oil is a lubricant that preserves the machinery, whereas fossil fuels are burned for energy. The oil in a turbine is not being consumed to generate power.
Minimal emissions: Using oil for lubrication produces negligible emissions compared to the emissions from a natural gas power plant.
Efficiency and longevity: Using high-quality synthetic oil is essential for protecting the expensive turbine components, extending the turbine's operational life, and reducing maintenance costs.

where did all the oil go when it was destroyed?
Do they get charged with an environmental accident and toxic spill?
probably not.
