more mindless waste of money, time and effort. generate nothing and piss away a fortune to generate a fraction of the energy produced by any other method you can name....it is a comical diversion put on for the new religion...greenies and the holy book of enviromentalism....but its meaningless.waste of land , money, time, effort...all for a 1930's technology on steriods. NO IMPROVEMENT but size.
I hope they put up 3000 of them off Martha's Vineyard. green DOPES.

"Altamont's turbines have since 2008 been tethered four months of every year in an effort to protect migrating birds after environmentalists filed suit. According to the Golden Gate Audubon Society, 75 to 110 Golden Eagles, 380 Burrowing Owls, 300 Red-tailed Hawks, and 333 American Kestrels (falcons) are killed by Altamont turbines annually."

isn't it extremely dangerous to even get near these when they have a failure like this ?

The gearbox sounded bad, but it wouldent go this fast and especially not without some more noise.

I may be wrong, but isn't it regulation to shut the turbine down before climbing it, whether this video is fake or not?

This really isn't funny. You can see the busted Fayette machines trashing the Altamont hills all over the Jess ranchect. These machines are number one when people think of failed wind projects. Surprised they even got one working!
These machines where crap even in the 1980s, the Danish built Micon machines across the street are far better built.

FINALLY, somebody who actually knows something about this. Can you believe some people actually think for a second this video might be for real? We were on the Fayette site in 1992 testing a prototype 100kw machine on one of their MANY empty tower foundations. I have a nice photo of 4 of those pieces of crap in the frame... 1 producing power, 1 rusty and shutdown, 1 laying on the ground and 1 pointing downwind and slowly turning over backwards. I agree, a blight on the skyline.

To make it more believable, next time have a guy in a Bigfoot costume shaking the tower.
