Wind Turbine Fire in New Zealand

[elektra]

So much for being clean. A toxic fiberglass fire, oil, plastics, and whatever else makes up the internals and externals of a wind turbine. This happens all over the world and will be more frequent as the Wind Turbines age and die.

Fire fighters did not have the capability to put out the fire so they let it burn until it could burn no more.

A wind turbine is on fire at a wind farm near Palmerston North. Emergency services were called to the site near Aokautere, Palmerston North, at 2.40pm, a Fire and Emergency New Zealand spokesperson said. “It’s a windmill on fire,” he said. Four fire trucks and a tanker responded but left shortly after 4pm, as they were “unable to assist”, he said. The fire was being left to burn overnight under the management of on-site contractors.

Where is yer OP's about the coal fires that burn?

Where is yer OP's about the coal fires that burn?

Because these are far more fun to watch.

I suppose if you like watching flies crawl up walls.

where is your op, on the failures of wind turbines?

We know what Coal power is, that is not hidden nor lied about. Wind Turbines hide under this facade, "Green", "Clean", and "Renewable".

Wind Turbines are lies all day long. Where is your OP, on that fact!

Wind turbines may be advertised as such but in real life they are just another machine of man and all machines are not perpetual.

Technically, they are a machines of government. Subsidized, paid for, rule and regulated, created by government greed.
It is a public rip off and there is nobody that can provide any argument that proves otherwise.

Wind turbines may be advertised as such but in real life they are just another machine of man and all machines are not perpetual.

So it's OK for a clean energy machine to burn anytime it wants and pollute the atmosphere but using coal which we all know burns is unsatisfactory. Sounds like we should just burn the wind power machines to produce energy so you don't complain because it's all clean energy.

That coal fire's still burning!

OLYPHANT, Pa. (WNEP) — Pennsylvania's Department of Environmental Protection is set to begin putting out a fire near Scranton...

Officials think it started when someone started illegally burning garbage there.

After fighting the fire for two years, crews eventually built a 200-foot trench around the fire, hoping it would burn itself out.

Gerard Tully began fighting it in 2004 as a volunteer firefighter.

State officials say it will probably take until December of 2022 to complete the first stage of the project.

It's about time; it's only been burning for 16 years!

That's right!

The fire is in a coal mine more than 200 feet underground.

We use coal to build wind turbines

we could use less coal not building wind turbines

who, that sucks, that refinery supplied gases and chemicals to Solar manufactures.

 

[elektra]

Wisconsin is a huge fiberglass manufacturing mecca for the Wind Industry. Of course, fiberglass does require Natural Gas. The increased demand placed on Natural Gas due to the increased use of Natural Gas by the Green/Clean/Renewable industry is frightening once one learns about it.

 

[elektra]

Much Natural Gas get converted into coke as well as carbon. Carbon used in the blades of giant wind turbines, that is Carbon Fiber.

Natural Gas Coke, is used to make polysilcon for the solar industry, as well as fiberglass.

Mrs. Elektra, you are one funny person. No such thing as natural gas coke. Natural gas is one of the byproducts of converting coal to coke.

Yes, that refinery was supplying hydrogen to the solar polysilicon market. The extra burden of mire production for solar was too much.

But it will go out rather soon. The fire in Centralia will not go out in any of our lifetimes, and there are many more like that. Also, because we had natural gas furnaces where I worked, we had numerous safety films about natural gas explosions and there causes.
