Huge wind turbines — taller than the Statue of Liberty — are toppling over in a 'rash' of incidents

Good one.
yep
I the days to come, we assimilate as one whole group to plan structure, that might save us ALL in an easy step forward.
Flaired
Thanks!
So they aren't living long enough to make up for their own cost to the environment. They are a child's toy, a pipe dream for free energy.:
"And, of course, tall, string towers require a lot of construction materials that have (ahem) a considerable carbon footprint to create. Compared to the amount of "carbon free" electricity generated, the carbon emitted in manufacturing and construction of the towers may take many years to counterbalance. Consider that the relatively low electricity production of each tower (compared to a coal or nuclear fired plant) means that far more power transmission lines must be constructed, and there is a carbon footprint involved, not to mention the excess demand created for copper, which has its own environmental issues in mining and refining, and the problems with meeting demand when creating new copper mines hits a high wall of resistance from the very same environmentalists who think windmills are a solution to the problems they imagine CO2 creates."
did that windmill have pfizer juice in the gearbox?
Gearbox is an automatic transmission type box, therefore it would be filled with tranny fluid. So it cannot help but bend over.
Couple of years ago when Texas has that winter storm and the turbines had stopped and wouldn't move...the idiots had helicopters dropping antifreeze type fluid BUT on the ground---the "pink" stuff--->HYDRAULIC FLUID!!!!!!!
These so called "WIND FARMS" are just toys and CANNOT standup to the rigors of ANY TYPE OF WEATHER...the "SAVE THE PLANET" WIENIES NEED TO GO BACK to school and learn about power generation!!! ret. ME!!!
Those turbines didn't kill themselves.
Maybe!!!
Screw the turbines, they are bird killers anyway. Same with solar panel farms, DESTROY THOSE AND RETURN THEM TO OUR FARMERS!
Really? Did the wind knock them over? How fitting.
I drove an old Mercedes up a goat trail on a French mountain to get close to one of several wind mills. Friends later sent a clipping of a folded over, crashed machine. This was maybe 15 years ago.
Cool !
Awww. This one is fine, it just needs a little ramp to make the relative-airflow parallel to the chord-line of the blades on the spinny bit.
T. Boone Pickens, billionaire, Texas panhandle oil and gas and hedge fund manager gave us windmills with the help of gov Bush. A perfect boondoggle, one might say.
Why don't you make a post out of this comment. The title should say:
Of course you will need a picture of Pickens.
I have a telephone and one finger and no printer. I recalled his appearances on Fox when he was pushing his wonder solution to energy independence.
I have no idea if he was foolishly sincere or deep state. I do sincerely question the engineering in producing these monstrosities. Seems basic engineering would have revealed design flaws and maintenance problems. And where were our vocal and active environmentalists? These things kill protected wild life and sea creatures.
The environmental wackos (as Rush Limbaugh) used to call them must have been paid off otherwise PETA would have prevented the building of 95% of these structures. There is also US Bank Stadium where a glass casing is known to kill birds. You would think such a forward thinking state could have blocked the building of such a stadium.
