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

Germany’s Ticking Turbine Time Bombs: Green-Induced Environmental Nightmare Unfolds
The wind industry continues to deliver up a bevy of eco-irony, a gift to those sick to death of the moral piety dished up by its deluded acolytes. Turbines exploding into flames, blades exploding into the ether and turbines, well, just plain exploding - make a mockery of claims by cultists that wind power is … Continue reading Germany’s Ticking Turbine Time Bombs: Green-Induced Environmental Nightmare Unfolds
Wind Energy: Part-Time Power – Full-Time Failure: Brand New Turbines Falling Apart
Wind power isn’t a serious energy source, it’s a serious joke. In the absence of massive subsidies, the wind industry wouldn’t exist. Battling to deliver part-time power, it’s been a full-time failure. Self-combusting, throwing 10 tonne blades to the four winds and dropping their 300 tonne hulks earthwards is just what these things do. But, … Continue reading Wind Energy: Part-Time Power – Full-Time Failure: Brand New Turbines Falling Apart
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
Trifecta of Wind Turbine Terror: Blades Snap, Flames Crackle Nacelles & Whole Turbines Drop

Scottish Wind Power Company Attempts to Cover Up Turbine Collapse
*** What's notable about this story is not that a 160 tonne turbine collapsed without warning, nor is it the effort by the wind power outfit's spin doctor to pretend that this is the first time a 90m tower has taken a tumble to terra firma (a line we demolish, so to speak, below). No, … Continue reading Scottish Wind Power Company Attempts to Cover Up Turbine Collapse
