Maybe it got too hot. ;-)

Well then, it must be because of Man-Made Climate ChangeTM

I saw the Dirty Jobs tv show and they showed a team of 6 guys inside one of those 60 foot wind mills mopping up the oil that was leaking. They said it was routine maintenance. Doesn’t sound very eco friendly to me.

Frickin vertical video. Why can’t people learn how to hold their smartphones?

There is a very funny video (with some swearing) all about that somewhere on YouTube.

Maybe a piece of a sliced up bird on the endangered species list fell into the machinery.

Fortunately, a fire broke out, otherwise there would have been a backup of energy until the special radium battery exploded spreading radioactive contamination across six counties.

At least it doesn’t have that stupid blurry duplicate image on each side.

I’m thinking a really hot day will vaporize of the puddled oil, allowing any sort of spark from the electrical equipment to ignite the oil. After that, you have a nice hollow composite blade to act as a chimney.

That’s an awful lot of black smoke and red flames.
Is this turbine petroleum powered?

"... officials are still working to determine what caused it."

Most likely the cause is associated with the wind.

Right off I-40 near Groom. I’m sure a lot of people are watching this. I’ve driven by there many times trying to count them but run out of patience.

There are about 90 all clumped together for a few miles.
