Nice try, Trumpanzee retard. Do you also think they cause cancer?
BTW, that is a teeny tiny privately owned unit, not the ones the pissy little bitch named Donald J. Trump whines about.
And it was probably pissy little TrumpBitch money that paid for some Trumpanzee retard to cause it to collapse.
Nice try, Tea Party throwback Trumpanzee sheep, Republican party interloper dumbfuck.

A tall, skinny pole with a windmill on top puts a lot of force on the base. There are lots of pics and videos online of giant windmills tipping over. It takes massive amounts of concrete to make a solid base, and the poles break too.
Bad things happen when the gearbox or generator catch fire, too. Blades fly off and stuff.

I agree. If the timing was a little different, that could have killed so meone, but the loons screech that it is fossil fuel/ nuclear that kills. I' ll bet the damage was well over $100,000.
This is like people who don't do the math for tower loading. They just keep adding crap that stresses the tower in high winds, until it collapses. Tha t is one of the few benefits of the repacks at TV towers. They have to remo ve a lot of old crap that isn't in service for approval to keep using the t ower with a new antenna.

This happened in New York. I wouldn't put it past some annoyed individuals who maybe didn't want the thing there in the first place. Just loosen a few bolts here and there, and wait...

It was there for about two weeks, and they said that it may have been installed without a permit.

It was not an engineered installation. The pole and base were originally intended for a billboard. The city denied their permit, so they installed a wind turbine instead. Apparently they did not need a permit for that.
Those sensationalized fires are caused by seized brakes.

John Larkin doesn't seem to have read through enough of the article to bet to the point where it says "There has been ongoing controversy over zoning on the property where the turbine was erected, and one local official told the outlet he believes the owner had the turbine installed without a buildi ng permit."
Wind turbines need to be properly engineered and maintained - they fall dow n if they aren't, like every other sort of civil engineering project.
Bridges fall down from time to time too, but nobody complains about renewab le energy when that happens.

able energy when that happens.
I'll never forget something my brother said to me when he used to live in Q ueens (an NYC borough): He said you just never know what's going to happen . You could be driving along the Long Island Expressway and a big pothole the size of your car could suddenly open up and that would be it for you.
I like to visit New York City, but no way I would ever want to live or work there! Too many people. (And with excessive population comes problems of sort described here: un-permitted, shady installations that pose a danger to the public!)

You don't have to go to big cities to find under-maintained bridges. There are more bridges in big cities so they are over-represented, but the underl ying problem is human fallibility. .

It was not teeny tiny. Who owns it is irrelevant. And being in a very urban setting, with people living and working nearby is exactly the kind of setting that Trump whines about. He whines about them lowering property values when one is put up in your neighborhood.
Obvious TDS here.
This would be a good time to tell everyone again that you're a Republican. It's your party that picked Trump, that enables him, that lies for him, that keeps him in power and that is running him for a second term.

someone, but the loons screech that it is fossil fuel/ nuclear that kills. I'll bet the damage was well over $100,000.
What was the cost of the damage from Chernobyl and Fukushima? Fukushima alone is estimated at $200+ bil. What a bizarre and silly argument.
ep adding crap that stresses the tower in high winds, until it collapses. T hat is one of the few benefits of the repacks at TV towers. They have to re move a lot of old crap that isn't in service for approval to keep using the tower with a new antenna.
Might be better to wait for an actual failure analysis.

Yeah, that and cancer. Donald whines about all sorts of things that don't put money in his pockets.
"Lower property values"??? Did you see the neighborhood? I think the three sided billboard kinda gives it a nice touch, don't you?
The massive monopole is actually a bigger eyesore than the windmill you could barely see. I doubt that will be taken down. The cell companies won't allow it.
