Placing industrial wind turbines in schoolyards is hardly the brightest move, given their habit of throwing blades in all directions and collapsing without warning. They've also been known to throw massive chunks of ice through roofs and windows - which is what happened at a Massachusetts Community College back in 2018 - luckily no one … Continue reading Danger Zone: School Kids Run For Cover As Wind Turbine Spins Out-of-Control & Collapses

Fatal Attraction: Transport & Construction Workers Add to Wind Industry’s Mounting Death Toll
Claims that 300 tonne wind turbines are safe as houses fall hollow with each self-immolation, total collapse and ‘component liberation’ event. Far from being safe, clean and green, this is an industry that has already killed 200 people. By way of comparison, the French get 75-85% of their power from nuclear plants and haven’t suffered so much … Continue reading Fatal Attraction: Transport & Construction Workers Add to Wind Industry’s Mounting Death Toll
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

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
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
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
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
