Claims that 300 tonne turbines are safe as houses fall hollow with each self-immolation, total collapse and ‘component liberation’ event. This is an industry that’s killed around 230, so far. And, with events like the one laid out below, the ‘green’ energy death toll can only rise. Wind turbine heavily damaged in City of Kawartha … Continue reading Shredded: Wind Industry Safety Claims Shattered as Neighbours Face More Exploding Blades

Another Wind Power Fail: Stiff Breeze Flattens Giant Wind Turbine in New Mexico
How ironic it is that a wholly weather dependent power source has such a bitterly hard time coping with the ... ahem ... weather. When Hurricane Maria visited Puerto Rico in September 2017, she managed to splatter wind turbine blades all over the island, leaving residents completely powerless for months: Weather Dependent Wind Power: Leaves … Continue reading Another Wind Power Fail: Stiff Breeze Flattens Giant Wind Turbine in New Mexico
Weather Wages War on Wind Power: Typhoon Topples Turbine in Japan
How ironic it is that a wholly weather dependent power source has such a bitterly hard time coping with the ... ahem ... weather. When Hurricane Maria visited Puerto Rico last year, she managed to splatter wind turbine blades all over the island, leaving residents completely powerless: Weather Dependent Wind Power: Leaves Hurricane Victims Powerless … Continue reading Weather Wages War on Wind Power: Typhoon Topples Turbine in Japan
Irony Alert: Weather Destroys Weather Dependent Power Source – Lightning Incinerating Wind Turbines
The wind industry and those that promote it look more ridiculous, by the day. An entirely weather dependent power source, abandoned a couple of centuries back for pretty obvious reasons, exhibits all the resilience of a snowflake in summer. The irony that some ordinary old meteorological phenomenon (wind, rain and lightning) can easily knock wind … Continue reading Irony Alert: Weather Destroys Weather Dependent Power Source – Lightning Incinerating Wind Turbines
Wind Turbines: Safe, Clean & Green? Yeah, Right …
The spontaneous combustion of 300 tonne wind turbines, showering the earth with a toxic cocktail of molten-fibreglass and flaming lubricants is one of those tricky PR problems for big wind. On every occasion that one of these whirling wonders burst into flames, locals are told them it’s a rare and unusual event, never likely to … Continue reading Wind Turbines: Safe, Clean & Green? Yeah, Right …
Black Plague: Wind Turbine Construction Turning Ontario’s Water Supply to Toxic Sludge
It’s not just that the wind industry is destroying Ontario’s water supplies that peeves people, it’s that they continue to lie about it. Those searching for a universally hospitable and polite group of people, need look no further than Canadians, and the industrious rural folk of Ontario, are no exception. These are the farming communities … Continue reading Black Plague: Wind Turbine Construction Turning Ontario’s Water Supply to Toxic Sludge
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
Western Victoria’s Firestorm: Dodging Wind Turbines Biggest Battle for Airborne Firefighters
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
Deadly Cool: Wind Turbine Throws Ice Chunks Into US College
Throwing 10 tonne blades hundreds of metres, and chunks thereof, for kilometres isn’t the limit of the wholly unnecessary risk created by giant wind turbines. No, in cooler climes, neighbours are trained in the art of dodging lethal flying chunks of ice, too. To the uninitiated, ‘ice throw’ (another wind industry euphemism) might sound … Continue reading Deadly Cool: Wind Turbine Throws Ice Chunks Into US College
Even Mother Nature Hates Wind Power: Lightning Strike Destroys Turbine in Ireland
For a machine that’s said to lovingly harvest free-as-a-bird wind energy, the industrial wind turbine sure takes a beating from the weather. When Hurricane Maria visited Puerto Rico last year, she managed to splatter wind turbine blades all over the island, leaving residents completely powerless: Weather Dependent Wind Power: Leaves Hurricane Victims Powerless A typhoon … Continue reading Even Mother Nature Hates Wind Power: Lightning Strike Destroys Turbine in Ireland
