Someone should figure out how much gasoline was wasted by detouring cars, and send the bill to Obama. Or Al Gore.

One of those blades could easily kill someone, and if so, the death toll from wind energy would exceed the death toll from nuclear energy (not including weapons) by infinity percent. Yet 0bama wants more wind. Lots and lots more wind.

Nothing like a beautiful landscape (as per the Greenies), dotted with inefficient, taxpayer-subsidized, 30% availability wind turbines!

CHP dispatcher said the windmill is spinning too fast Was it going ludicrous speed? That would really be dangerous if true. You simply cannot stop anything going ludicrous speed.

You mean they actually turned those things on? Everytime I went over the Altamont on my way to San Fran, the turbines were turned off. Seems somebody found a dead bird or something.

Every time I read about one of these I’m reminded of the article in the book “The 80’s, a look back at the tumultuous decade 1980 to 1989”, published in 1979. It’s a satirical story about a windmill that goes out of control on Timbalier Island, ripping and slashing its way through homes and racking up a huge death toll, and people are left wondering about the cost of wind energy.
That book is full of such prescient stories.
