As they get older, wind turbines have a hard time keeping it together. Hit ‘em with strong wind and the fun begins. Blades disintegrate, and chunks thereof relocate over vast distances - an exhilarating experience for anyone living, working or driving in the throw zone. Sometimes the entire hundred-tonne nacelle gets in on the action; … Continue reading Mister Floppy: Strong Winds Wiping Out (More) Ageing Wind Turbines

New Olympic Sport: Wind Turbine Blade Sets Giant Javelin Throw Record
The trade euphemism for turbine blades flying in all directions is “component liberation”, an abuse of the English language designed to placate neighbours and passing motorists, living and traveling in the throw zone. With thousands more of these things being speared into closely settled rural communities, the risk of death and serious injury, only increases. … Continue reading New Olympic Sport: Wind Turbine Blade Sets Giant Javelin Throw Record
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 … Continue reading Drop Zone: Wind Turbines Keep Showering Locals With Giant Unshackled Blades, Hatches & More
Icy Killer: Motorists Forced to Dodge Huge Chunks of Ice Thrown From Wind Turbine Blades
Wind power’s meant to be clean, green and safe as houses, but these things have a habit of hurling deadly chunks of ice at people on foot, motorists and the buildings people occupy. Throwing 10 tonne blades hundreds of metres, and chunks thereof, for kilometres isn’t the limit of the wholly unnecessary risk created by giant industrial wind … Continue reading Icy Killer: Motorists Forced to Dodge Huge Chunks of Ice Thrown From Wind Turbine Blades
All Fired Up: Texan Wildfire Sparked by Self-Incinerating Wind Turbine
The number of wildfires sparked by these things grows by the day. Contrary to their ‘super-safe’, ‘clean’, ‘green’ image, giant industrial wind turbines are the perfect incendiary device. Around the world, hundreds have exploded into in palls of smoke and balls of flame – in the process – each one raining molten metal and over … Continue reading All Fired Up: Texan Wildfire Sparked by Self-Incinerating Wind Turbine
Smashing It!: 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Can’t Help Catastrophic Collapses
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 … Continue reading Smashing It!: 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Can’t Help Catastrophic Collapses
Wind Power Setting The World On Fire: Spontaneously Combusting Wind Turbine Sparks Washington Wildfire
Got a wind developer trying to get your community to sign up for wind turbines, ask them about the wildfires sparked when they self-combust. Wind turbines are the perfect incendiary device. Around the world, hundreds have blown up in balls of flame – in the process – each one raining molten metal and over 1,000 … Continue reading Wind Power Setting The World On Fire: Spontaneously Combusting Wind Turbine Sparks Washington Wildfire
Turbine Trouble: US Military Declares War on Wind Power
Raising a raft of unnecessary danger, the wind industry’s body count currently stands at 192. Flying blades, collapsing and/or self-immolating towers account for their fair share of corpses. But those that take to the air, shouldn’t overlook the number of pilots and their passengers who’ve come to grief, thanks to a wind turbine or their … Continue reading Turbine Trouble: US Military Declares War on Wind Power
Menace to Society: Costly, Chaotic Wind Power Delivers Nothing But Community Division & Bird & Bat Carnage
Anyone looking for reasons to hate wind power, is spoiled for choice. Heavily subsidised, chaotically intermittent and an environmental nightmare, there’s a veritable smorgasbord of arguments against returning to the Dark Ages. A time when daily life was dictated by the seasons and the weather. The reason that human beings developed, harnessed and perfected thermal … Continue reading Menace to Society: Costly, Chaotic Wind Power Delivers Nothing But Community Division & Bird & Bat Carnage
Top Secret Turmoil: Wind Industry Covering Up Catastrophic 300 Tonne Wind Turbine Collapses
While massive subsidies fuel the wind industry, self-generated myth and polished propaganda just grease the wheels. For wind industry spin-kings, one pesky problem that won’t go away is the routine and catastrophic collapses of these 300 tonne whirling wonders. Over the last few years, there have been hundreds of ‘structural failures’ - where either 10-15 … Continue reading Top Secret Turmoil: Wind Industry Covering Up Catastrophic 300 Tonne Wind Turbine Collapses
