(14,198 posts)Many are so pro wind that they won't listen to the fact they need to be updates and to mandate better upkeep.
As for the winds/tornado, I wonder if it was a direct hit or not? I remember when some group came to Pittsburg KS about doing a wind farm. They made all kinds of promises that they could stand up to something like 150 mph strait line winds or something like that. But they were doing there best to make people believe that any storm would be nothing to worry about.
That is what making me wonder A LOT about this. Was it a direct hit? Was there promises about strength that were made? What kind of winds are they supposed to handle? list goes on.
What is really amazing, it me, is not that many seem to be thinking of this as a question of our national infrastructure. They seem to look at it as an attack on wind energy. To me, anything to do with the national energy grid is important. Fossil, water, wind, solar, all of it is important to the infrastructure as roads, bridges, dams, and railways. They need upkeep.
But some can not se past their views to see.
Or maybe I am just dumb for looking at it that way.
