600 cubic meters is 785 cubic yards. A typical concrete truck carries 10 cubic yards with the usable concrete being a little less than that. This pour would take a minimum of 80 trucks. Think of all that diesel pollution. The horror....the horror...
all that for a 2-3 MW capacity. That is what it is capable of, not what it produces, which is measured in MWh. That varies wildly with the conditions of course. They do not produce 2-3 MWh 24/7 all year, unlike the rated capacities of non-peaker CC and nuke plants.
Bud, you have not even touched on Rare Earth Minerals yet that are required for the turbine to function at its stated efficiency...dwarfs the concrete cost in devastation.

Shit, all the energy it takes just to create the concrete, rebar, and other misc., items to create that foundation.
