The above image shows the second most common problem (after blade failure) that affects wind turbines: fire. This happens when transmission failures occur in these constructions. To date no gear oil has been invented to withstand the pressures produced within these transmissions. Recently, the U.S. government gave Dow-Corning a big grant to work on it. Previously, many others had tried and failed. Of course our idiotic politicians did not think about all that fibreglass and a little heat would cause such a bonfire with taxpayers’ money! With a little bit of thought would of course they Climate Change scammers should have realised that wind turbines are in fact a magnet – or literally an electro-magnet – for lightening. Stuck up on a steel structure with a large electro-magnetic field they will of course attract every lightening bolt head their way. With pyrotechnic combination of inflammable glass-fibre and 200 off gallons of transmission fluid they are bonfires on a stick. Watching one of these burn would be an impressive sight. The generator is too high for most fire tenders to reach with the water pressure they have.

For your entertainment Dear Reader, we at the British Gazette have penned a little poem in the style of the exquisitely bad Scottish poet, William Topaz McGonagall:

Tall wind turbine
You stand erect upon the horizon
Your blades they do not move.

Tall wind turbine
You present us with many hazards
Your blades when they do move may become detached.

Tall wind turbine
You attract lightening strikes
Your fibreglass nacelle and flammable transmission fluid then ignite.

Tall wind turbine
You cost us much money
Your purpose is to save the planet.

Tall wind turbine
You provide little or no power
Your usefulness is non existent.

In the style of William Topaz McGonagall (1825 – 1902)
