Poor.engineering or conditions they never tested for/anticipated

Caution:

Do not place windmills in high wind areas.

Gravity fucks with wind energy production.

Yup, it's racist to do math, so big shit falls down.

So you have a force 5 hurricane that rips up the solar farms and topples the windmills.

How long before power is restored?

I've seen some of these collapses on video. A couple of them simply had inadequate foundations. The entire foundation gets pulled out of the ground.

But most of the time it looks like brake failure. They start spinning so fast that a blade breaks off and hits the pole. It just chops them down like a tree.

Wind is less than a quarter of what they use in Texas. Folks in Austin are starting their 3rd day with no power and the temps were in the high 20's for about 18 hours...

The people who engineered these windmills clearly aren't very good. Multiple academics have been saying math is racist, or are you just displaying your profound ignorance again?

No, I am pointing out that the engineers are bad. YOUR asshats made it about race.

Yet you're the only one who brought up race.

You guys are obsessed with it. We get it...you hate brown and black people. You need to get over it.
