So, I checked, and this life cycle assessment (first link I could find, seems very comprehensive) states a 27x return on energy: https://www.vestas.com/en/sustainability/environment/lifecyc...

This as opposed to a tweet about someone who 'read a life cycle analysis article in some engineering journal like 10 years ago'.

Please don't spread misinformation.

it's a bot account, the comment will get deleted after a while. Just look at it's history there are many on hn, reddit and other moderated forums.

Huh? This user does not look like a bot account at all to me. The account was created in 2016, and the user regularly comments on technical posts - sometimes encouraging developers and providing useful linls.

On the other hand, they seem to have rather 'anti-woke' views. They already posted the same stupid (sorry) Twitter link in another thread and got similar responses, by the way.

So, they are certainly no bot by any sensible definition but rather someone whos is hindered by their strongly-held views and limited will or ability to critically evaluate sources. I wish them the best.
