  • wow... they are building like 300 of these windmills around Van Wert Co., USA , and building very quickly too. Hope none of them FAIL like this !  Wonder what wind speeds they are rated for?

  • @DraconiusKrynar Where do you get your statistics? how many people have wind turbines killed? 16 worldwide how many people has the Chernobyl incident killed? UNSCEAR say 63 so far with 6000 cases of thyroid cancer, and that is the most reserved report, you want to read Greenpeace's report, and that's one incident, it kinda dwarf's the 16 from wind energy. Wind, wave, hydro and solar are the cleanest, but your right on the cheapest part, after all that's what matters right? lol

  • angry nerds. not pretty

  • It went over 9000...

  • @DraconiusKrynar of course is very safe to store tons of radioactive waste under the floor. More safe is when you know that we produce it faster than it degrades.

    That awful problem you mention about the wind turbines is of easy solution. I supose this is an old turbine, as Denmark was one of the pioneers with this kind of energy. Otherwise it would have a simple system of blade rotation that regulates the blade reaction to the wind and helps to mantain a safe speed on storms like this.

  • @aleloooooooooya - Your ignorance is incredible. Statistically, these turbines are 4 times more dangerous to humans than nuclear power. Structural failures can fling the blades up to a mile away from the turbine. Look at this video again, watch where the blades go!

    Not to mention when ice builds up on the blades, the turbines fling that too, cutting people in half.

    Nuclear power is the cleanest, safest, cheapest form of energy available to us, regardless of what you might think!

  • Carbon fiber is strong my ass

  • Dunno why but I sat laughing my head off at this XXD

  • @sbeer6er lol, probably did happen lol

  • AHAHHAHA DAM! that shit went crazy.
