The taller the wind turbine, the harder they fall. And they sure are falling.
Wind turbine failures are on the uptick, from Oklahoma to Sweden and Colorado to Germany, with all three of the major manufacturers admitting that the race to create bigger turbines has invited manufacturing issues, according to a report from Bloomberg.

I’m guessing this is happening because noted engineers Al Gore and Greta Thunberg weren’t consulted during the manufacturing process.

It’s gravity. Follow the science. If that’s not too hard.

No relation to the sacred mRNA vaccines, wind towers have been falling over since the middle ages...

It’s probably because there’s like a 100 foot propellor that goes round and round on a stick. This round and round motion causes stress on said stick.

It’s just another example of the existential risk of the Climate Emergency.

It is by faith alone that the wind turbine towers are able to stand. Every time anyone expresses doubt about wind power the towers are weakened and are at risk of falling. The first amendment must be cancelled to save the towers.

This Shouldn't Be Happening. Maybe it should be happening - but we've been too propagandized and corrupted by the fake "climate change" political movement, we can't admit it.

there are hundruds of these idiotic windmills near where I used to work at the largest international materials testing and inspection company in the world
I have never been called out to inspect rebar or concrete, or heard of any one of the techs or inspectors going out on the footings and have never heard of bidding going out for the contract for any firm in the area to do so.
without special inspection of footings the contractors will cheat like crazy, especially in remote areas like that where concrete takes a long time to deliver it goes bad and they WILL add water just to get it out of the mixer truck and make it even worse until it has about the same strength as compacted soil
