Wooden Wind Turbines

Wind turbines generate electricity without, whilst operating, generating any climate-altering 'greenhouse gases'. Having said that, most of these structures are fabricated from steel and have to be transported to their selected locations. Most current steel production has a massive carbon footprint and transport of the enormous structures also produces carbon dioxide emissions. The Swedish start-up, Modvion, have just built the world's tallest wooden wind turbine (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-67718719 ). Wooden wind turbines have the advantages of a) being constructed of a material that stores carbon dioxide rather than emits it and b) can be constructed on site, without the need to transport the finished article. This might well be the way forward for land-based wind turbines (wood wouldn't last too well in marine habitats). Forests and hilltops could accommodate these new artificial 'trees'.
