This is what happens if you forget to water your wind turbine!

Was that photographed in Wiltshire ? ????

Texas wind farm Matagorda county , blades buckled when a storm passed through June 14th 2021.

The photo has been doing the rounds since then.

Great Picture Crossy, thanks,

I wonder how old it was. I built blades in the early days using Kevlar and epoxy. However, over the last few years they have turned to using Balsa cores. This in turn has led to a worldwide shortage of Balsa, consequently they are stripping forests at an alarming rate. Makes you wonder sometimes how green renewable energy really is.

Perhaps if you can water it then, like a tree, it will spring back to life and produce again.

That silly idea set me thinking........How much electricity does a tree produce?
