Loose Nuts
It’s symbolic.
The damn things can’t compete economically, so now they’re trying to take out the competition (literally).
If they would put them in places that were not so windy they wouldn’t have this problem. Duh!
Shaking heads has replaced holding people accountable. WOW, I'm impressed with their leadership, they shook their heads.
Any Dorkbama era shovel ready job POS should be avoided at all costs.
Remember, incompetent planning, no economic abilities, total lack of any engineering expertise, corrupt, and dishonest. What’s to like about Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch and his cadre of idiots?
WIND turbines are allegedly designed to operate in the WIND. A quick look at past weather readings will show average and peak wind speeds. Is this a case of affirmative action engineers, or just pig-headed management?
The bidder with the highest “kickback” won the job.
God has a GREAT sense of irony and humor!
From the video it was an ‘egg-beater’ type on a vertical mount. Looks like the blades went first then the anchors. I am not sure that these ‘egg-beater’ types can be ‘feathered’ in extreme conditions to reduce the wind loads. One or more engineer types may be (legitimately) worrying about their ‘PE’ stamps on the application & construction documents. Happy that there were no human injuries!
“We are Farmers.”
I blame this on Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and her dancing.
Someone’s going to get a very nice new car.
Wow, when they can’t plant these Asherah poles in groves, they’ll install them over parking garages, to tower over the fossil fuel polluters symbolically and literally, kind of like minarets.
Be funny if the victim were an electric car. At a charging station.
Regreta Toungbird come back when you are grown up.
What a lucky reporter to be filming it as it embarks on its maiden voyage, from atop the parking garage to the parked car. 8>)
“toppled a New York City wind turbine which then crushed an unoccupied parked car..”
As long as the windmill didn’t kill any birds, this is okay.
“...had elected officials who represent the area shaking their heads.”
Well, the off-axis overload after the first blade broke had the column bolts shaking their heads...right off.
Link has video of it happening.
Im sure there was some mungo to be had before it toppled
