Not only do wind turbines act as the perfect bushfire-starters, their presence precludes the best and safest method of fire-fighting from controlling them: aerial water bombers won’t fly within cooee of these things – experienced pilots have declared that they won’t fly within 3km of a wind turbine, even without the country around them on … Continue reading Western Victoria’s Firestorm: Dodging Wind Turbines Biggest Battle for Airborne Firefighters

Ontario: Water, Water Everywhere – But Thanks to Wind Turbines – Not A Drop to Drink
Wind farm neighbours are forced to endure all manner of wholly unnecessary suffering. Incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound drives them nuts at nighttime or, in plenty of cases, out of their homes, altogether. In Ontario, around the shores of the Great Lakes, the latest outrage involves wind power outfits destroying local underground … Continue reading Ontario: Water, Water Everywhere – But Thanks to Wind Turbines – Not A Drop to Drink
Splattered: 160 Tonne Wind Turbine Implodes Without Warning in Ontario & Becomes Instant Tourist Attraction
As insanely dangerous as they are utterly useless, when they’re not throwing their blades to the four winds, industrial wind turbines just keep on collapsing. With the biggest weighing in at over 300 tonnes, every time gravity does her worst, the risk of chaos and carnage follows: 290 Tonne Vestas Wind Turbines Dropping Like Giant Wounded Flies … Continue reading Splattered: 160 Tonne Wind Turbine Implodes Without Warning in Ontario & Becomes Instant Tourist Attraction
Why Wind Power is the Greatest Economic & Environmental Fraud in History
When called upon the think of certainties, gravity springs to mind (at least on earth). Although, for the wind industry it does tend to deliver harsh results - see above, yet another fatal collapse, this time in Lincoln, Nebraska. Another certainty, is that once people tackle the facts, they turn against wind power with a … Continue reading Why Wind Power is the Greatest Economic & Environmental Fraud in History

Japanese Pyro Saga: Wind Turbine Explodes in Fireball at Nuclear Power Plant
STT followers might have twigged to our sense of irony which, on the odd occasion, drifts all the way to sarcasm. Sometimes a wry line requires considered imagination. But, other times, this stuff literally writes itself. This saga from Saga in Japan is almost too funny for words. Anti-nuke scaremongers rave on about the purported … Continue reading Japanese Pyro Saga: Wind Turbine Explodes in Fireball at Nuclear Power Plant
Wind Turbine Noise & Vibration Causing Harm to Humans & Animals Alike
For those unfortunates forced to live with incessant turbine generated low-frequency noise and infrasound, the cause of the sleep deprivation they suffer is no mystery. Moreover, a menagerie of domestic and wild animals stuck next to wind turbines suffer similar effects, including well-documented increases in the stress hormone cortisol (see our post here). Dr Mariana … Continue reading Wind Turbine Noise & Vibration Causing Harm to Humans & Animals Alike
Trifecta of Wind Turbine Terror: Blades Snap, Flames Crackle Nacelles & Whole Turbines Drop
Safety: Snap, Crackle, and Drop Master Resource Lisa Linowes 19 June 2017 Wind turbine safety had an ugly three weeks. During the late hours of May 31, a turbine blade at NextEra’s Breckinridge Center in Oklahoma (in-service since August 2015), broke off near its base and was thrown to the ground – snap. Days later on … Continue reading Trifecta of Wind Turbine Terror: Blades Snap, Flames Crackle Nacelles & Whole Turbines Drop
More Wind Turbine Self-Incinerations & 10 Tonne Blade Throws
For something that the wind industry keeps telling us is as rare as hen's teeth, the unshackling of 10 tonne blades (euphemistically called 'component liberation'), the total collapse of 200-300 tonne turbines and the spontaneous combustion of turbine generators (and the 1,000 litres of highly toxic gear and hydraulic oil that slosh around inside the … Continue reading More Wind Turbine Self-Incinerations & 10 Tonne Blade Throws
German Truck Driver Crushed by Runaway 62m Wind Turbine Blade
That the wind industry is responsible for havoc and chaos is not news to STT followers, but normally it's rocketing power prices, wrecking power markets and grids and ruining communities that springs to mind. In this case, the mayhem arose even before the blades started spinning in some dimwit's back paddock. Driver is crushed by … Continue reading German Truck Driver Crushed by Runaway 62m Wind Turbine Blade
