*** 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. While their capacity for self-immolation is well-known; as with … Continue reading Fry-day Funnies: Wind Turbines ‘Explode’ onto the World Energy Stage
‘Wrap-Up’ on Reign of Wind Farm Terror: Blades Buckle and Turbines Tumble in Michigan
Is there anything that can be said for a medieval power source that was abandoned Centuries ago for pretty obvious reasons? Pointless it most certainly is. But, along with that lack of justification on any level, comes a form of danger never seen before at any time in history: 10 tonne blades (with their outer … Continue reading ‘Wrap-Up’ on Reign of Wind Farm Terror: Blades Buckle and Turbines Tumble in Michigan
Wind Turbine Terror: Spanish Home Hit by Flying Blade – Just 1 of 3,800 Blade ‘Fails’ Every Year
**** 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. Twice is coincidence. Three … Continue reading Wind Turbine Terror: Spanish Home Hit by Flying Blade – Just 1 of 3,800 Blade ‘Fails’ Every Year
Disintegrating Wind Turbines & Mass ‘Planned’ Blackouts in Germany: What’s Not to Like About Wind Power?
**** The wind industry, its parasites and spruikers, around the globe, hail Germany as THE wind power ‘Super Model’. Trouble is, in Germany – as elsewhere – the ‘gloss’ has well-and-truly worn off – and the ‘Model’ is looking more than just a little worse for wear. The Germans went into wind power harder and … Continue reading Disintegrating Wind Turbines & Mass ‘Planned’ Blackouts in Germany: What’s Not to Like About Wind Power?
Berserk Warriors: it’s the Dane’s Turn to Take Cover as (Yet) Another Turbine Self-Destructs
*** Remember all those stories about wind turbines lasting for 25 years – without so much as the need for an oil-change – and being “safe as houses”? Well, as STT followers well-know those ‘stories’ are unraveling at a rocketing rate – with giant fans collapsing in crumpled heaps; spontaneously combusting; and throwing blades to … Continue reading Berserk Warriors: it’s the Dane’s Turn to Take Cover as (Yet) Another Turbine Self-Destructs
Wind Farms: As “Safe as Houses”
**** STT has worked pretty solidly to cover the increasing numbers of turbine blades that routinely unshackle themselves in bids for airborne freedom, troublesome events, which the wind industry euphemistically calls “component liberation” (see our posts here and here and here and here). But lately, STT has been working over-time to keep up with the … Continue reading Wind Farms: As “Safe as Houses”
More Wind Turbine Terror: Blades Thrown to the Four-Winds in Ireland
**** The Irish seem to have had all the “luck” lately. We only just reported on a turbine that tumbled back to earth in County Tyrone, Ulster a week or so back - with a sound like an “exploding bomb” (see our post here). And have been reporting about tumbling turbines and flying blades so … Continue reading More Wind Turbine Terror: Blades Thrown to the Four-Winds in Ireland
Gravity Bringing Wind Power to its Knees: Blades Keep Flying, as Farmers & Schoolkids Learn to Run & Duck for Cover
**** A little while back we covered a spate of turbine collapses across the UK – terrorising locals not used to the sky-falling in around them on a regular basis (see our post here). And we’ve dealt with the increasing numbers of turbine blades that routinely unshackle themselves in bids for airborne freedom, troublesome events, … Continue reading Gravity Bringing Wind Power to its Knees: Blades Keep Flying, as Farmers & Schoolkids Learn to Run & Duck for Cover
Wave of Destruction: Ontario Wind Farm Neighbours in Open Revolt
**** There’s an old Chinese proverb that: “Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered”. Ontario is at flashpoint as impacted and threatened wind farm neighbours take on lying, cheating wind power outfits head-on. In response to the malign indifference of the hard-green-left lunatics in charge of the Province (see our post here), the … Continue reading Wave of Destruction: Ontario Wind Farm Neighbours in Open Revolt
