Hundreds of these things have spontaneously self-incinerated around the world, with the real potential to destroy life and property for miles around. But the wind industry and its government enablers, couldn’t care less.
When turbines erupt in toxic fireballs, firefighters can only stand back and watch.
When and wherever these things explode into balls of flame and toxic smoke they send a shower of molten metal and over 1,000 litres of flaming gear oil, hydraulic fluid (see our post here) and burning plastic composites earthwards.
As Australia approaches what portends to be a blistering summer, rural communities with the misfortune of having hundreds of these things in their midst are on edge. Their natural well-founded anxiety is perfectly understandable, but the ho-hum reaction of their political betters is criminal.
Authorities running cover for the wind industry have known about the proclivity of these things to self-emulate years. They continue to pretend that the ‘events’ are exceedingly rare (the numbers say otherwise) and that those charged with extinguishing the random blazes are well-equipped to do so. All bunkum, of course.
In the proto-communist-run People’s Republic of Victoria (a once great State of Australia), locals are incensed at the lack of care and empathy of the glorious leaders. And rightly so, as Shannon Deery outlines below.
Wind turbine fire safety fears spark urgent call for Allan govt to step in

The Allan government is facing calls for an urgent audit of Victoria’s 2500 wind turbines amid fears they lack critical fire safety equipment.
Ahead of the upcoming bushfire season, concerns are mounting over the safety measures in place to protect both regional communities and key infrastructure from potential fire hazards.
As the government rolls out another 900 turbines over the next decade and faces an ongoing fight over constructing powerlines through western Victoria to connect turbines to the Melbourne grid, the Sunday Herald Sun can reveal the state’s energy safety regulator, Energy Safe Victoria, has no records of whether or not wind turbines are fitted with critical internal fire suppression systems.
The gap in oversight has sparked alarm about the effectiveness of current regulations and the preparedness of the energy sector in addressing the risks associated with the government’s push toward renewable energy.
CFA guidelines recommend fire suppression systems are installed on all wind turbines, as well as automatic shutdown capabilities to enable turbines to be completely disconnected from the power supply in the event of fire.
Fire hazards at wind energy facilities can include electrical hazards, chemical hazards, and potential fire spread because of air flow impact or falling debris from fire-impacted turbines.
In June Energy Safety Victoria launched an investigation after a wind turbine burst into flames in Portland.
Firefighters were forced to let the blaze burn out after futile attempts to control the fire.
Irrewarra CFA captain, John Martin, said wind turbines posed significant dangers for both aerial and ground firefighting operations.
Mr Martin said it was almost always impossible for crews to get close to wind turbines, meaning bushfires could quickly spread from the turbine before facing any resistance.
“If you give a fire like that in that particular landscape a head start, the front’s going to get bigger and bigger and before you know it you’ve got a pretty serious, fast-running grass fire,” he said.
“It makes us feel pretty helpless. Anything within the tower, we can’t touch, we’ve just got to leave it.
“But it is the grass fires that really concern us as to how we can actually manage to eventually get on top of those.”
Mr Martin said there should be laws requiring fire suppression systems to be installed in every single wind turbine.
“It’s a no-brainer, it doesn’t matter the cost,” he said.
“Whichever way you look at it, these things do present problems for us in the CFA.”
Shadow Emergency Services Minister Richard Riordan called for an immediate audit of the state’s turbines.
“Fire suppression technology exists but is an optional extra for wind companies who this year received a massive cut to their fire service levy charges thanks to the Allan government,” he said.
“Protection of our rural communities from out of control wind turbine fires should not be an optional extra.
“A wind turbine fire cannot be fought from the ground, and it cannot be beaten from the air, only internal fire suppression equipment such as CO2 gas can be used to put these fires out effectively.
“A hot February day and a wind turbine spraying molten fibreglass, hot oils and other debris across many square kilometres of accessible grass lands is a disaster waiting to happen.”

STOP THESE THINGS 
Kennedy did a documentary on this CO2 gas how it suffocated a small rural community when the pipeline exploded so that has it’s issues regarding storage and use. Would there just be underground pipelines for that now? Large cylinders at each base piping it up to the top? Or would there be one at the top adding more destabilizing weight?

I hear the climate change response teams are now looking at new modeling for structures in all cities to stop climate change, they say all fire suppression methodologies cause climate change more than the burning itself. Taking the page from their successful special needs energy playbooks they see letting all structures simply burn themselves out as seen with wind turbines and battery cars as the way to finally solve this climate change problem so they are calling on governments to fund studying ways to simply allow buildings to burn themselves out as soon every building will be required to also be packed with these handicapped energy building blocks of energy storage on site and it will be impossible to put them out anyways so as to never miss a marketing opportunity they will claim it’s helping stop climate change. Another method they claim could help in fire suppression is changing physics at it’s core so that heat no longer rises. The claim is that because heat rises when things burn it draws in cool fresh oxygen thus fueling the fire. There are many scientists rushing in like cool ocean air to take advantage of this opportunity to be first in the world to change physics in order to solve climate change.
