If referring to the helicopter, at most it will burn 20 gallons an hour. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2021/02/18/fact-check-image-meme-wind-turbine-de-icing-sweden/6787470002/ https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/politifact/2021/02/26/texas-wind-turbines-power-outage-renewable-energy-fox-news-lara-logan/6835891002/
