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

Drop Zone: Wind Turbines Keep Showering Locals With Giant Unshackled Blades, Hatches & More
As the wind industry would have it, these things are safer than houses and wouldn’t hurt a fly. The reality is, oh so much, different. Flinging 10-20 tonne/45-60m blades in all directions is just the beginning. Showering their locality with nacelle door hatches and other random bits and pieces, and drenching their surrounds with a … Continue reading Drop Zone: Wind Turbines Keep Showering Locals With Giant Unshackled Blades, Hatches & More
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
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
Fire & Fury: Giant Industrial Wind Turbines A Clear & Present Danger to Life & Limb
Giant industrial wind turbines routinely shed their blades, collapse and/or burst into terrifying fireballs. Contrary to their ‘super-safe’, ‘clean’, ‘green’ image, giant industrial wind turbines are the perfect incendiary device. Around the world, hundreds have exploded into in palls of smoke and balls of flame – in the process – each one raining molten metal … Continue reading Fire & Fury: Giant Industrial Wind Turbines A Clear & Present Danger to Life & Limb
Another One Bites the Dust: 200 Tonne Wind Turbines Continually Beaten By Gravity
Throwing their 12-20 tonne blades to the four winds, spontaneously combusting and collapsing in catastrophic fashion is what wind turbines do best; these things appear to be in a constant battle with gravity. 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 … Continue reading Another One Bites the Dust: 200 Tonne Wind Turbines Continually Beaten By Gravity
Death Dodgers: On How to Avoid Being Impaled by Flying Wind Turbine Blade Chunks
With thousands of these things being speared into the backyards of closely settled rural communities, the risk of death and serious injury, only increases. The wind industry (which really only got off the ground in the late 1990s and still generates a trifling amount of electricity) has clocked up around 220 fatalities, - see the helpful … Continue reading Death Dodgers: On How to Avoid Being Impaled by Flying Wind Turbine Blade Chunks
