When 300-tonne wind turbines spontaneously explode into giant toxic fireballs, locals have more contend with than the risk of bushfires (or ‘wildfires’ as Americans call them). Packed with flammable and toxic oils, plastics, fibreglass and low-ignition point metals, like aluminium, when one of these things spontaneously bursts into flames, everybody for miles around knows all … Continue reading Safety Claims Incinerated: Locals Smothered With Toxic Smoke From Burning Wind Turbines

Danger Zone: School Kids Run For Cover As Wind Turbine Spins Out-of-Control & Collapses
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
Bigger They Come, Harder They Fall: Giant Wind Turbines Keep Dropping Like Wounded Flies
These things have a terrifying habit of succumbing to gravity, their 300-tonne superstructures dropping like giant, wounded flies, splattering their inner workings far and wide; and, no doubt, providing locals with an exhilarating seismic experience. We reported on the phenomenon only a few weeks back, noting that there has been a significant increase in the … Continue reading Bigger They Come, Harder They Fall: Giant Wind Turbines Keep Dropping Like Wounded Flies
Risk Premium: Insurers Baulk At Paying Out For Hundreds of Wind Turbine Fires & Collapses
The staggering rise in the number of turbine fires and total turbine collapses has insurers ready to tighten the terms of the policies offered to cover them. As with any bookie, the odds of winning (or losing) are always reflected in the price the punter pays. Insurance, is no different. International insurance broking took off … Continue reading Risk Premium: Insurers Baulk At Paying Out For Hundreds of Wind Turbine Fires & Collapses
Catastrophic Failures: 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Keep On Collapsing in Terrifying Fashion
Wind industry spin doctors are struggling to explain away a troubling uptick in catastrophic and terrifying wind turbine collapses. Gravity is not kind to these 300-tonne monsters; hundreds of them have collapsed around the world and the rate of collapses appears to be increasing, over time. Over the last few years, there have been hundreds of … Continue reading Catastrophic Failures: 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Keep On Collapsing in Terrifying Fashion
Blaze of Glory: Life-Threatening Wind Turbine Fires Way More Common Than People Think
Wind turbine fires are ten times more common than the wind industry and its parasites claim (see our post here and check out this website: http://turbinesonfire.org). Americans have had more than their fair share of fiery 'green' energy excitement - see our posts here, here and here. The wind industry has been forced to concede that at least … Continue reading Blaze of Glory: Life-Threatening Wind Turbine Fires Way More Common Than People Think
‘Clean’ Energy Scourge: Wind Turbine Blades Shedding Tonnes of Toxic Microplastics
Sure, the millions of wind turbine blades headed for landfill will leave a toxic legacy for centuries to come, but these things create an even more immediate threat. Their 40-90m blades naturally erode during operation, spreading tonnes of microplastics far and wide. The epoxy compounds they shed contain toxins that are finding their way into … Continue reading ‘Clean’ Energy Scourge: Wind Turbine Blades Shedding Tonnes of Toxic Microplastics
Component Liberation: Wind Turbines Keep Throwing 8-20 Tonne Blades In All Directions
Like playing Where’s Waldow, wind turbines keep losing blades and their owners apparently have trouble finding them again. Which seems strange, given that these suckers are 45-70m long and weigh between 8 and 20 tonnes. The trade euphemism for blades flying in all directions is “component liberation”, as if that abuse of the English language … Continue reading Component Liberation: Wind Turbines Keep Throwing 8-20 Tonne Blades In All Directions
Safety First: Run For The Hills When 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Hit The Deck
Massive subsidies fuel the wind industry, while self-generated myth and glowing 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 tonne blades are … Continue reading Safety First: Run For The Hills When 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Hit The Deck
Constant Community Pests: Giant 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Keep ‘Dropping’ In On Neighbours
For wind industry spin-kings, one pesky problem that won’t go away is the routine and catastrophic collapses of their 300 tonne whirling wonders. We’re repeatedly told that rural communities just can’t wait to have hundreds of these things speared into their backyards. Except, of course, if those backyards belong to former Greens leaders, like Dr Bob … Continue reading Constant Community Pests: Giant 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Keep ‘Dropping’ In On Neighbours
