The braking mechanism that limits the speed of the wind turbine broke during a storm in Denmark. This was the outcome. 02/22-2008.

Bonus info:

-The tower of the mill was 60m high
-Wind speed was probably around 30 m/s
-You can see a truck at the base of the mill, but nobody was hurt. The mill had been evacuated 400m in each direction.

    I'd still rather have this disaster than a huge underwater oil spill! This you can fix, the underwater disaster will continue to have consequences forever.

    exactly, windfarms have nothing to do with oil. if she said something regarding coal or hell, even nuclear then it would of made sense to mention it

    I doubt you'd even see it. One minute, you'd be standing there, marvelling at this thing whizzing round and the next, you'd be in bits all over the field

    Oil is not energy, it's a "source" of energy, among other things. But your statement is correct. I suppose Mrs. Jenkins made the assumption we use oil for our main production of electrical energy which is factually false. The biggest 'dirty' resource for generating electrical energy is coal and a few other solid fosil fuels. Oil is mainly used for production purposes and for generating (mostly local) mechanical energy.
