1. huricane bawbag strikes again

2. About 90% of all wind turbines use chinese made magnets. So its a pretty safe bet that at least some parts of this turbine are made in China.

3. Don’t forget the emissions generated in maintaining them as well!

4. yes, they do. If properly maintained they can double their service life, just look at Tehachapie and Palm Springs, those are 15 and 20 yr tutbines, some are more than 30 years old. Guess you heard wrong…. just sayin

5. What a lovelt sight! Bloody telly-tubbie windmills are a huge scam riding on the back of the even bigger scam of so-called global warming.

6. If the nuclear plant shut down and dropped 17GW from the grid then we can assume that its output was at least that. 1GW=1000MW, so the output of the nuclear plant was 17000MW. 17000÷1.2=14166.6… so approximately I should really have rounded it to 14200. You see were I got the figure from, it simple maths. :)

7. Take the nameplate power of the windmill and multiply it by the load factor (usually .20-.30) to get the true output of the windmill and divide that into the number he gives for loss of nuclear power from the grid to get the number of windmills vs nuclear.

   The biggest lie in the wind industry is selling us on the nameplate rating and delivering 20-30% of that rating in the real world.

8. Where did he give this 14100 figure?

9. And from what I’ve heard, they don’t even last that long!

10. Just like how it takes the wind turbines shown in this video at least 20 years of continuous service (not including line losses) to offset the amount of pollution that was created by manufacturing it.

11. That blows. Yeah the breaks blew. Cause they can only handle winds up to 100mph and the debris coming off that turbine is Goin well over that.

12. I figured he was anti but I couldn’t understand why he gave the fact about the wind turbine producing 14100 times less energy than a small nuclear plant. By giving actual facts, this guy inadvertantly exposed the flaw in the technology he apparently supports. He can’t be very bright if he thinks that less energy is somehow better!

13. Notice none of the other turbines are turning either. Turbines are normally shut down in heavy storms so to protect the sensitive equipment and prevent fires. The brakes must have failed on this one. Turbines not turning = zero power. Wind is just to intermittent and variable to be used for reliable power.

14. Mike works for the industrial wind industry, he’s in bed with Hydro One, GE and IBM so don’t expect him to say anything positive about nuclear.

15. igor is crying now

16. So one small nuclear plant can give out the same power as more than 14100 wind turbines. Whose side are you on, the anti or pro nuclear?

17. Wow – what makes a terrible storm even more fun? = FIRE!!!~

18. even mother nature hates wind power

19. The real story here is that the same wind storm blew down transmission lines from a nearby nuclear plant, cutting it off for 54 hours and dropping 17 GW from Scotland’s grid. A 1.2 MW wind turbine doesn’t rate. While dramatic, there’s less than a 0.001% chance of a modern wind turbine catching fire in its 20 year life span. There are 165,000 wind turbines generating clean, safe carbon free energy worldwide.

20. ”zoando rsrs” means ”Just kindding ^^”
    ¬¬’

21. It is his or her spoken language known since he or she was born. If you are too stupid to understand or check what does it means, this provide you’re completely idiotic faggot

22. English pls ur faggot
    zoando rsrs

23. Dynamic braking dude. A dump load is put on the generator as a stopping mechanism and allows them to only spin very slowly by introducing counter EMF, which is most likely what failed on the flaming turbine. Odds of this happening are extremely small. There are like 3 occurences worldwide of major wind turbine defects/disasters on youtube. They are doing pretty good if you ask me.

24. It was a 90mph gusting wind, nicknamed ‘hurricane bawbag’ at the time and causing other structural damage around: the others are doing the right thing by shutting down.

25. Its producing green smoke!
