No one hurt except the taxpayers were hammered to near extinction.

WIND TURBINE WITHOUT BLADES NOR GEARS IS what THEY NEDED!
lIKE THIS ONE:
https://vortexbladeless.com/technology-design/
Vortex Bladeless is a vortex induced vibration resonant wind generator. It harnesses wind energy from a phenomenon of vorticity called Vortex Shedding. Basically, bladeless technology consists of a cylinder fixed vertically with an elastic rod. The cylinder oscillates on a wind range, which then generates electricity through an alternator system. In other words, it is a wind turbine which is not actually a turbine.
I want one!

Wouldn’t it be ironic if it fell on Greta.

Physical injury and legal injury are two different things. Taxpayers were injured.

The gears fail, but constant vibration and/or harmonics will weaken metal over time. The gears and metal fatigue is why none of these turbines will ever last long enough to pay for themselves.
They are no different than aircraft - the older they get the more they fail mechanically and the more expensive they are to maintain.

came crashing down on the snow during the weekend as high winds swept across the region Did they not expect this wind?
Maybe when they rebuild they should choose a location where there is no wind.

All these wind power proponents seem to have forgotten
that the original wind power sources were low speed
high torque grist mills and design something that is
opposite in nature.

So they don’t work when there’s no wind and they fall over when there is high wind.
Excellent.

Sweden disappears for two weeks.
No one notices.

Swede’s were tilting at windmills to begin with.

Your bladeless turbine has blades. Or it used to.

I wonder what sounds/Db it creates when oscillating ...

Dear Mr. Space Bar
Yes, the Grammar Police keep me on speed dial.
They no longer bother to send a notice for minor infractions.
Due to budget cuts, I seldom hear much out of them.
I can see from your name that you must be in the upper levels of that organization.
That said, I simply fail to see the error of my ways? (A common condition for me.)
Could you provide an easy hint?
Thank you for your service with the G.P.

Don & Sancho are going to get very cold up there?
And what will they feed Dapple?
