Original Note:
This photo is from a deep Sweden winter in 2014 and not reflective of typical conditions. The helicopter is also pouring water, not chemicals. The amount of greenhouse gas used to de-ice a turbine is a fraction of what would be used to make the same energy with fossils fuels. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-helicopter-turbine-sweden-n/fact-check-image-of-helicopter-de-icing-a-wind-turbine-comes-from-sweden-not-texas-idUSKBN2AH22H
