RESIDENTS OF OCOTILLO AND BOULEVARD SPEAK OUT, SHARE SAFETY FEARS AFTER TURBINE BLADE FALLS

[byeya]

371. Since this Caithness group puts the events in such detail, I would wait and see what the industry

has to say in way of rebuttal. I agree with you that there probably is a slant here but I can't expect the NY Post(say) to write a story on wind farm problems. There are some media that you would expect to carry an industry press release and maybe stir up some saleable controversy, kind of like the Japanese and Norwegian governments giving their side to whaling.
So far, I don't see a rebuttal to these incidents and I don't see the % of incidents as being overboard compared to the number of generators in place.
Personally, I would like to see dispersed small wind turbines for home and community use with the ability to give back - for money - the excess power. I have no way of knowing if that's economically feasable or not.
But the matter at hand: The incidents, including the part of a blade that traveled a mile, is legit to me until I see otherwise and I can stop repeating it. The fact that countries with more experience with large scale wind power generation are adopting safety zones leads me to believe that these generators are not wholly benign.
