Oh dear
How sad
Never mind!
Brings a tear to my eye and a little ray of hope.
HA! HA! How I hate those things. Those are HUGE! Useless monstrosities, IMO. If one is able to build such things, then one does not need them.
Anyone got drone footage of the solar farms in the path?
Now that would make some interesting viewing too.
Also…. now the windmills are out of action, how are they going to charge the electric cranes that will have to come to the scene to lift all the debris?
And so let it be for all monstrosities.
typhoons. who knew?
…
Just cannot shake that inherent intermittency and reduced lifespan.
Pictured is the Weng Chang wind farm in Hainan province. Typhoon Yagi came ashore there as a weak Cat 4.
Interestingly, the costly experimental twin counter rotating offshore 20 MW wind platform ‘Mingyang’ engineered to withstand Cat 5 did survive undamaged.
Castles made of sand fall into the sea eventually.
The birds, bats and insects are happy!
There is a poetic symmetry of wind turbines being destroyed by wind.
Remove all wind and solar from the grid, now.
Something there is that doesn’t love a wind turbine.
(Apologies to R. Frost)
This was in China?
China has plenty of coal plants to take up the slack.
I simply can’t wait to see what’s gonna happen when the East coast windfarms-actual and/or under construction-meet a good old fashioned Atlantic coast hugging hurricane. Lots of luck, greenie-whacks…
The video’s musical score …. Requiem for a Turbine
The video looks like one of CTM’s AI-generated dystopias.
An engineering failure! Were climate scientists employed to design and build these wind turbines?
So $Billions later we realize this might not be the best way to go? Really?
`Another example of how great wind is for the economy.. Think of all the jobs cleaning up the mess and replacing them every time a storm blows through. Progressive Progress.
Before we were cursed with renewable energy constructions, both wind turbines and solar arrays, we rarely, if ever, had a power station failure. The ones that did fail, made the headlines and became drivers of policy and design change. Chernobyl being the most significant man made and thankfully one off event.
Compare that rarity, with the now regular news of natural weather events destroying renewable energy constructions.
The North Sea coast of Britain, is well known for its storms and natural disasters, it won’t be long before the inevitable happens.
The weather gods are sending the Climate Alarmists a message, sadly their closed minds are not hearing it.
And they said it was foolish for the Japanese to build a nuclear power plant in an area renowned for earthquakes. At least Fukushima did activate the safety protocols following the earthquake, it was the tsunami that broke the camel’s back when it shorted the batteries driving the safety measures.
Chernobyl was of course human error.
Why would you build a huge, potentially unstable structures in an area where there are hurricanes/typhoons?
All those beautifully painted turbine towers.
You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.
Well, at least they painted them in nice colours rather than the boring white 😀
