Bigger They Come, Harder They Fall: Giant Wind Turbines Keep Dropping Like Wounded Flies

These things have a terrifying habit of succumbing to gravity, their 300-tonne superstructures dropping like giant, wounded flies, splattering their inner workings far and wide; and, no doubt, providing locals with an exhilarating seismic experience. We reported on the phenomenon only a few weeks back, noting that there has been a significant increase in the […]

Risk Premium: Insurers Baulk At Paying Out For Hundreds of Wind Turbine Fires & Collapses

The staggering rise in the number of turbine fires and total turbine collapses has insurers ready to tighten the terms of the policies offered to cover them. As with any bookie, the odds of winning (or losing) are always reflected in the price the punter pays. Insurance, is no different. International insurance broking took off […]

Drop Zone: Wind Turbines Keep Showering Locals With Giant Unshackled Blades, Hatches & More

As the wind industry would have it, these things are safer than houses and wouldn’t hurt a fly. The reality is, oh so much, different. Flinging 10-20 tonne/45-60m blades in all directions is just the beginning. Showering their locality with nacelle door hatches and other random bits and pieces, and drenching their surrounds with a […]

Catastrophic Failures: 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Keep On Collapsing in Terrifying Fashion

Wind industry spin doctors are struggling to explain away a troubling uptick in catastrophic and terrifying wind turbine collapses. Gravity is not kind to these 300-tonne monsters; hundreds of them have collapsed around the world and the rate of collapses appears to be increasing, over time. Over the last few years, there have been hundreds of […]

Red Alert: Self-Immolating Wind Turbines Pose Constant Summer Bushfire Threat

Giant industrial wind turbines habitually explode into terrifying fireballs, spewing toxic smoke and raining tonnes of flaming plastics and molten metals earthward. In winter it probably provides locals with a kind of amusing pyrotechnic distraction. However, in the height of summer, with the country a tinderbox and fuel loads at their peak, not so much. […]

Blaze of Glory: Life-Threatening Wind Turbine Fires Way More Common Than People Think

Wind turbine fires are ten times more common than the wind industry and its parasites claim (see our post here and check out this website: http://turbinesonfire.org). Americans have had more than their fair share of fiery ‘green’ energy excitement – see our posts here, here and here. The wind industry has been forced to concede that at least […]

‘Clean’ Energy Scourge: Wind Turbine Blades Shedding Tonnes of Toxic Microplastics

Sure, the millions of wind turbine blades headed for landfill will leave a toxic legacy for centuries to come, but these things create an even more immediate threat. Their 40-90m blades naturally erode during operation, spreading tonnes of microplastics far and wide. The epoxy compounds they shed contain toxins that are finding their way into […]

Safe As: Why Reliable & Affordable Nuclear Power Is The Safest Energy Source Of All

As the grand wind and solar ‘transition’ descends into a calamitous farce, nuclear power is now being taken seriously, at long last. That Australia, one of the world’s largest uranium exporters, doesn’t rely on nuclear power astonishes those from the 30 countries where you’ll find nearly 450 nuclear reactors currently operating – including the French, Americans, […]

Toxic Blade Time Bomb: New Study Exposes Scale of Wind Industry’s Poisonous Plastics Legacy

Landfills are the final destination for millions of worn-out wind turbine blades, where their toxic plastics will be left to rot for the ‘benefit’ of generations to come. These 10-20 tonne, 40-60m long chunks of plastic, fibreglass, balsa wood and resins can’t be recycled, so the wind industry has been dumping them quietly for years […]

Spontaneous Combustion: Wind Turbine Fires Way More Common Than Industry Claims

Efforts to portray wind turbines as ‘safe’, ‘clean’ and ‘green’ are undone by their reputation for spectacular pyrotechnic displays whenever they decide to self-immolate and turn themselves into terrifying, toxic fireballs. Around the world, hundreds have exploded into in palls of toxic smoke and balls of flame – in the process – each one raining […]
