DONLEY COUNTY, Texas - A wind turbine caught fire Wednesday afternoon in the Texas Panhandle, but officials are still working to determine what caused it.
Cassie Gillies O'Brien, along with several other drivers, stopped on the side of the road to watch it burn. She shot video which shows pieces of fiery debris raining down on the ground below.

It's the design of the phone. If they would put the sensor in 90 degrees to the phone position, you'd default to horizontal orientation when you held the phone upright.
When someone tried to put in a wind farm around my town, I realized that it’s a chain of “flipping”, selling one stage to the next - with nobody having a financial interest in major repairs or demolition/removal at end-of-lifespan. Expect those burned-out hulks to just stay there.
This is not a fire. They are testing a new anti bird option. They are purposely emitting smoke to deter birds.
Don’t worry. The greenie losers will somehow figure-out how to make taxpayers pick up the tab for this lunacy. Hold on to your wallet.
Looks like it just undid 10 years of saving the planet
They are supposed to have brakes...
Another article said the local volunteer fire company made the decision to let the fire burn itself out.

There may have been no other alternative given the height of the structure, falling debris, turning blades, and other dangers. The whole thing will probably be torn down anyhow to fix and replace it.
Well, it broke....................
You can see the fumes from the carbon fiber resin burning off into the atmosphere. Those are the yummiest of the petro-chemicals.
I dont think these coal fired windmills are gonna catch on though.
Captain Queeg’s paranoid rants had more basis than the Russian story has. Its a charge in search of evidence.
“Reducing” the carbon footprint the old fashion way...
The only one turning is the one burning. LOL
The brakes worked on all the rest. :)
LOL! I DO TOO!!!!!
Sorry, I guess the sarcasm in my post wasn’t dripping enough
My guess would be excessive heat, but what do I know?
Now, that’s what I call Art!
How come the turbines are not moving? They should be helping to disperse the smoke faster throughout the States! They’re not doing that, so...
They’re FIRED!!
If you look carefully, you will see that TWO are on fire...............
