  • Good work James but you'd filmed burning turbines before!

  • Okay, so the video of a single wind turbine signals the utter failure of wind generators altogether? Are you familiar with the creative process, at all?

    ZERO-NOISE from gears and generators since they are sealed underground.

    SAVES THE BIRDS AND BATS since slow-moving.

    DOES NOT NEED TO OCCUPY A WIDER LANDSCAPE since the turbine can be very tall.

    MAY BE LOWER-COST since it may use timber and other cheaper things.

    ELUDES HURRICANE FORCE since the V-type folding blades automatically close.

    NO FIRE since it is kept cool.

    HELPS THE WIND-ENERGY COMPANIES since it is FREE FOR ALL.

  • Hello Class BTW its Not ryan

    

  • In the US there are around 14,000 wind turbines left to rot b/c they simply don't produce enough energy to justify the very high cost. So in other words, they are left to decay and litter the land while the environmentalist who cried so loud to have them built are nowhere to be seen cleaning up their mess. Oh and now they don't want them built b/c they kill birds.

    Just another knee jerk idea that environmentalist failed to think all the way through..
