Another One Bites the Dust: 200 Tonne Wind Turbines Continually Beaten By Gravity

Throwing their 12-20 tonne blades to the four winds, spontaneously combusting and collapsing in catastrophic fashion is what wind turbines do best; these things appear to be in a constant battle with gravity. Remember, this is the power source that promises a clean, ‘green’ future! And that rural communities just can’t wait have hundreds of these things … Continue reading Another One Bites the Dust: 200 Tonne Wind Turbines Continually Beaten By Gravity

Turbines Tumble: Another 230 Metre, 300 Tonne Whirling Wonder Bites the Dust

Throwing their blades to the four winds, spontaneously combusting and collapsing in catastrophic fashion is what wind turbines do best. Remember, this is the power source that promises a clean, ‘green’ future! And that rural communities just can’t wait have hundreds of these things speared into their backyards. Except, of course, if those backyards belong to former Greens leaders, like Dr … Continue reading Turbines Tumble: Another 230 Metre, 300 Tonne Whirling Wonder Bites the Dust

Smashing It!: 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Can’t Help Catastrophic Collapses

Industrialised Landscapes & Battered Communities Drive German Backlash Against Big Wind

Germany’s wind power obsession has turned picture postcard landscapes into alien, industrial war zones - of the kind dreamt up by futurist HG Wells. In the beginning, carpetbaggers, rent seekers and their eco-zealot, shock troops sold the ‘transition’ to an all wind and sun powered future as an ecological idyll. Except, the reality has fallen … Continue reading Industrialised Landscapes & Battered Communities Drive German Backlash Against Big Wind

Mass Blade Fail Means Early ‘Retirement’ for Hundreds of Danish Wind Turbines

  Among the lies pedalled by the wind industry is that wind turbines run on the smell of an oily rag and last for more than 25 years. The pitch is made to beguile the gullible (read, ‘planning authorities’, ‘politicians’, ‘bankers’ and ‘investors’) into believing that their operating costs can be covered out of petty … Continue reading Mass Blade Fail Means Early ‘Retirement’ for Hundreds of Danish Wind Turbines

Weather Dependent Wind Power: Leaves Hurricane Victims Powerless

Oh, the irony. In one breath we're told that the climate is changing so rapidly - although, these days, most climate alarmists don’t seem prepared to lay a bet on whether things are getting hotter or colder - that carpeting the world in wind turbines and solar panels - which cultists believe will solve the … Continue reading Weather Dependent Wind Power: Leaves Hurricane Victims Powerless

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

More Wind Turbine Collapses: So Common You’d Think ‘Enemy’ Forces Were Involved

'Forgotten washer' heard in hub before wind turbine collapsed in Cape Breton CBC News Brett Ruskin 15 May 2017 Just hours before a massive wind turbine collapsed last year in Cape Breton, a technician performing routine maintenance heard what was believed to be a washer lost in the structure's hub. The incident — believed to … Continue reading More Wind Turbine Collapses: So Common You’d Think ‘Enemy’ Forces Were Involved

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

Mortal Danger: Wind Turbines Throw Blades, Disintegrate & Collapse with Alarming Regularity

More turbine mayhem, this time it's Siemens turbines - less than 4 years old - collapsing on Maui - an island in the Hawaiian archipelago. Parts fall off wind turbine The Maui News Lee Imada 4 October 2016 The blades, hub and nacelle of one of eight Auwahi Wind turbines in the Kanaio area separated from … Continue reading Mortal Danger: Wind Turbines Throw Blades, Disintegrate & Collapse with Alarming Regularity
