Did you actually watched the video ?

You were talking about windmills a moment ago, now you're talking about turbines? You're very confusing.

So, you obviously didnt watched the video.

Yes my bad, in my native language windmill and wind turbine are the same word.

I was talking about wind turbines, as you can see in the video.

In that case, 200 cubic meters amount to around 80 tonnes of CO2 emissions. That's around 80 MWh worth of coal electricity, which a 2 MW wind turbine running at a 30% CF offsets in around a week. So a complete non-issue.
