Wind Farm Neighbours Burnt Out by Bushfire Sparked by Infigen Pursue $Millions in NSW Supreme Court
Wind turbines are as useless as they are dangerous.

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
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

Wind Farm Mass Attack: Wind Turbines Collapsing & Combusting Around the World
*** The number of cases involving turbines collapsing, self immolating or throwing their blades to the four winds (aka “component liberation”) has become so common that, if we were a tad cynical, we would go so far to suggest the possibility of some kind of pattern, along the lines proffered by Mr Bond’s nemesis, Goldfinger: … Continue reading Wind Farm Mass Attack: Wind Turbines Collapsing & Combusting Around the World
Fry-day Funnies: Wind Turbines ‘Explode’ onto the World Energy Stage
Only the Germans could come up with a single word to capture the churlish sentiment of feeling a sense of malicious glee at another’s downfall. It’s a sentiment pouring from this recent Tweet from STT Champion, James Delingpole. https://twitter.com/JamesDelingpole/status/761596079079100416 Which led us to these glee-giving videos.

Above is a video, and below is the story and pics, of a recent piece of 'green' energy pyrotechnics on the Prairie. Watch it burn: Multiple … Continue reading Texan Pyrotechnic Turbine Terror: Wind Power Setting the World on Fire
Wind Turbine Terror: Collapses & Spontaneous Combustion
**** The number of cases involving collapsing turbines and flying blades (aka “component liberation”) has become so common that, if we were a tad cynical, we would go so far to suggest the possibility of some kind of pattern, along the lines proffered by Mr Bond’s nemesis, Goldfinger: “Once is happenstance.

Victorian Country Fire Authority’s Claim that Wind Turbines Not Combustible Scorched
**** During the Senate Inquiry's first hearing into the great wind power fraud, the Committee had to listen to a number of wind industry backed patsies and stooges. Among them were a pair from Victoria's Country Fire Authority (CFA): Craig Brownlie (Operations Officer, Specialist Response) and Andrew Andreou (Executive Manager, Community Infrastructure).
