For all the things you think of when you hear "renewables", that analysis has already been made, and it's overwhelmingly better in every way to ditch fossil fuels.

I’d assume this is true over any sufficiently long time horizon.

I’d guess it’s like 20 years for a lotta stuff? i.e. short enough the average Lemming would benefit in their lifetime

More like a year. A wind turbine, depending on size, position etc, generates the amount of power used in it's construction within 2.5 - 11 months. Over it's life cycle it generates about 40x the energy you put in.

Thanks for the bright fact :)
