Windmill/Wind Turbine Explosion

The braking mechanism that limits the speed of the wind turbine broke during a storm in Denmark. This was the outcome. 02/22-2008.

Bonus info:

-The tower of the mill was 60m high
-Wind speed was probably around 30 m/s
-You can see a truck at the base of the mill, but nobody was hurt. The mill had been evacuated 400m in each direction.

    nuclear is not the best way it is very cheap and efficient in comparison but the waste is devestating and currently being dumped in my country Australia the problem isnt the immediate effects its the long term ones there are place now where you cant go in my country cause the radiation is to high and for the next thousand years or so nothing will grow there

    Well no one was nearby, no one got hurt? Seems to be better than a nuclear meltdown or the effects of heavy water on cellular organisms.

    There are explosions all the time, even with lighters in peoples pockets.

    People love to blow things up.

    Actualy, Geothermal would be the best way to warm and cool our houses, but sence all those big companies have secret deals with polotitians, that may never be a mojor thing.

    how long do you think it would take to do so? how much would it cost to complete the project and to run them? I dont think we will see those changes until the end of our lifetime… if were lucky

  • Spartan2552 says:

    Why Nuclear though …
    Why Nuclear though when we have Solar, Wind, Wave, and Geothermal?

    Nuclear power still creates waste…it’s clean, but disposal will always be a problem with it.

    Geothermal is by far the best way to go, Sooooo much energy can be harnessed from it but Nuclear and Oil companies already have their feet through the door.

    While I see the benefit in nuclear power, I see a larger benefit in harnessing the earth and the sun’s natural power. research heat mining…

    true, but most people don’t know the facts about Nuclear Power..They only know what the want to hear about making clean energy, or what the gouverment has to say about it.These days it’s nothing like Chernobyl. The technolagy get’s more & more advanced every day. People can prevent radiation by putting extra elements in concrete.etc,etc, thank u for responding.

    what the say about windmills isn’t true..This isn’t a safe way to produce energy
    they better build one nuclear energy plant then 25000 wind mills lol :P
