A single turbine requires 700-1000 tons of concrete, steel, copper and fiberglass — far more raw materials than involved with coal or gas - fired power plants, generating equal amounts of electricity far more reliably and cheaply.

He has called for building more nuclear and coal plants, ramping up the state's natural gas use, opening offshore oil and gas resources, as well as putting wind turbines offshore and electric cars on its roads.
