Yesterday, I was in a #TwitterBeef with this person over #WindEnergy & it being cleaner than producing & burning gasoline. I said that "Windmills don't require #carbon to run." Each post was more frustrating than the last with this guy. So much so, I missed the obvious counter. 
His claim was that because windmills require oils for cooling and lubrication, carbon is required for them to run. "To run." To produce energy. I should have shot back with this analogy.
Engines need coolant & oil, but don't require either to run. They require a fuel to produce the energy to force the piston down & create torque. Windmills produce produce energy BY HAVING WIND TURN THEIR BLADES WHICH TURN GENERATORS.
