Looks like a couple of joints gone bad.
It’s OK. The turbine owners got their money for it a long time ago.
“...Oil and grease from the generator...”
But, but....it’s supposed to be “clean energy” independent of those horrible, polluting fossil fuels and oils.. But...But....say this cannot be, Joe!!!! /s
BTW, FJB and his merry band of queer flying monkeys....
Those are some BIG names in power, right up there with Edison, Tesla and Insul.

Thanks for posting.
Drove by a large wind farm yesterday outside of Mojave ca. couple hundred windmills. None turning. No wind. In one of the windiest places in ca. great solution. people are so stupid.
Thanks
I’ve driven by the huge wind farms in the Columbia River Valley (OR), Altamont Pass (Northern CA), and Palm Springs many times. It is extremely rare to see many of them turning. Frequently in the Columbia River area I’ll see four or five turning and thousands dead in their tracks.
Guess what is used to back up all those dead windmills? Fossil fuels.
You need to build TWO plants where ONE used to do - the windmills AND a backup plant. Guess what that does to costs!?
Warren Buffett :: wind & solar energy is a bad investment.. They do not make sense without tax credits, subsidies ... That is the only reason to build them.
"Reliable"..."You keep using that word." "I don't think it means what you think it means."
Shocked that no one has posted this yet, so I will:
That’ll buff right out.
Bill Clinton…
I’ve seen this for decades. All of these save-the-world wind turbines standing stock still like a field of malign flowers.
That was the conclusion of my college paper in 1981; a feasibility study of wind turbines in the Texas High Plains and Rolling Plains.
Always wondered how many times my paper was checked out of the college library at Texas Tech U.
Ehat you saw were “Windless Turbines”- they don’t turn- they just sit there spoiling the view for everyone. A liberal isn’t happy unless hey spoil something for others- tH3y certainly have achieved their goal with those asinine “Wind” turbines!
In the snow one of the blades can becomes unbalanced making it shake and causing it to strike the platform.
They weren’t turning because the electricity to anti ice the blades would cost too much both to install and to run.
WWG1WGA!
That, and it's also renewable energy.
By renewable they mean that they have to renew the whole thing after each catastrophic failure. And while they're doing that, they can also shovel up the dead birds that pile up underneath it.
EIA data shows intermittent, not reliable : wind & solar met 3% of U.S. energy after $50 billion in subsidizes..
