146. The story is that someone COULD have died here. It fell on a TRAIL.

They are siting these way too close to people. The nearest homes are less than a half mile away hear (not a mile asa Nadin estimated above.) More turbines are proposed in San Diego that would be only 500 feet from roads and 900 feet from campgrounds. A blade could easily travel that far and also turbines sometimes collapse - a 500 tower coming down would obviously take out things that are only 500 feet away, given the length of the blades (173 feet on these models). There are MANY cases where this has happened. And here in Boulevard a blade on a slightly smaller turbine traveled 3/4 of a mile. There are storms here with gale force and even hurricane force winds. The 2007 wildfires were fueled by 100 mph winds. Yes, turbine blades or pieces of them when they blow apart can go quite far. Another wind farm here blew apart in a moderate storm in 2010, hurling chunks of blades heavy enough to smash cars onto a freeway. Thankfully it happened at 2 am. But as they run out of remote windy areas and start putting these closer to homes, roads, campgrounds etc it is a massive accident waiting to happen.
