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
Environmental Disaster: Wind Turbines Continually Catch Fire, Throw Blades & Collapse
California’s wind power proponents promised a clean, green future - instead, they’ve delivered a wholesale environmental disaster. In the desert surrounding Ocotillo, locals have been putting up with wind turbines self-immolating, throwing their blades in all directions, leaking and spraying oil and collapsing to the desert floor, for years now (see our post here). Here’s … Continue reading Environmental Disaster: Wind Turbines Continually Catch Fire, Throw Blades & Collapse
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
Not So Safe: Spontaneous Wind Turbine Fires Pose Mortal Threat to Life & Property
STT has covered wind turbine fires dozens of times, including those which have sparked out-of-control bushfires, placing life at mortal risk. 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 … Continue reading Not So Safe: Spontaneous Wind Turbine Fires Pose Mortal Threat to Life & Property
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
Smashing It!: 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Can’t Help Catastrophic Collapses
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 … Continue reading Smashing It!: 300 Tonne Wind Turbines Can’t Help Catastrophic Collapses
Surefire Safety: Nuclear Power Sets Benchmark for Safe, Reliable & Affordable Power Generation
Climate alarmists railing about carbon dioxide gas and not talking about nuclear power generation, can’t be taken seriously. Nuclear power is the only stand-alone power generation source that does not emit carbon dioxide gas during the process. The fact that, among climate warriors, those seriously promoting nuclear power are few and far between, speaks volumes … Continue reading Surefire Safety: Nuclear Power Sets Benchmark for Safe, Reliable & Affordable Power Generation
Shredded: Wind Industry Safety Claims Shattered as Neighbours Face More Exploding Blades
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
