This claim is entirely false. The average energy payback time for a modern wind turbine is between 5 and 12 months. Larger wind turbines in favourable locations can take 5 to 6 months. https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/2021/10/13/wind-turbine-never-generate-much-energy-cost-build/8423146002/ https://www.greenbuildingadvisor.com/article/wind-turbines-reach-energy-payback-quickly https://www.mwps.co.uk/wind-energy-news/renewable-energy/2021/wind-turbine-payback-just-6-months/ https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/06/140616093317.htm https://www.mwps.co.uk/wind-energy-news/renewable-energy/2021/wind-turbine-payback-just-6-months/

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1847768051724472537

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
