Wind power in Nome is taking a slight decline after a wind turbine at the Banner Wind Farm toppled this weekend.
At Tuesday’s Nome Joint Utility meeting, Utility Manager John Handeland said the welding anchoring a tower failed, and the 50 kilo-watt unit was destroyed.
That leaves 15 of the original 18 wind turbines at the Banner Wind Farm still standing.
Handeland explained, “One was destroyed during first the winter. One had delaminated blades. A then a third one was taken down and used for parts. And now this one.”

Math is hard. 18-4=14

18-4= 15,
15 being the required number of bird choppers still on the books for an Obama subsidy handout..
Math can be Good, Math can be Good….
50Kw? The birds probably generate more energy with their wings up until the blades hit them.
Obama wouldn’t know the difference-
57 states…
Sounds about right.

Ontario is the windmill capital of Canada,teeming with Liberal/Left enviro nuts more will be erected. No heed is paid to those who live in the rural areas and object to the useless monstrosities, they don’t vote Liberal. We have an election coming up,unless there’s a magic spell of brain activity among the Toronto voters we’re doomed to be surrounded by more of them.
Sure they kill birds, one would think that would upset the enviro nuts if they had the capacity to reason beyond their straight line thinking. Anyone ever wonder if they affect the climate around the “farms” where they are “planted”?

Something interesting is happening up in the Blue Water/Grand Bend area. The people have been powerless to stop these windmills from going up but in the last couple days the delivery to these sites has been denied by the local town councils. It seems that even if the province decrees these things go up the local government still controls the permits needed to get them to site. When you need 10 permits to get a delivery done it only takes one town to make you reroute.
This morning I saw a windmill blade on a truck on highway 6 today outside Caledonia… pointing -away- from town and back toward Hamilton. Can’t imagine what he was doing there, unless his GPS broke and he was lost. All the windmill construction is down in Fisherville on the other side of the river from this guy.
Freakin’ blade was over a hundred feet long, looked like a 747 wing on the back of a truck.
I understand from the grapevine that there’s a Big Push on to get as many of these things half-built as possible before the Ontario election. The builders rightly fear the Conservatives will win and shut down new construction, so they’re going flat out before the ax falls.
There are blades coming out of Windsor going to Dunville right now. It might have been one of them. They take crazy routes most of the time. They are 150 feet long.
The greenoids don’t seem to be bothered by the collateral damage turbine farms create. The Altamont Pass Wind Resource Area in central California kills an average of 67 golden eagles annually. Nary a whimper…..
Oh, I see…..
From the heading I thought this was a putdown on San Francisco baseball aficionados.
..The greenoids don’t seem to be bothered by the collateral damage turbine farms create…
One would hope that the “Greenoids”…(I prefer Eco Zombies), all use electric base board heaters…once they understand that there is a direct correlation between their cost of electricity (which is freaking high and going WAAAAAY Higher in Ontario), and McGuinty’s Insane Windmill mind set that sees Taxpayers footing the $ 0.42/kwhr being paid to The Producers and reaping the $0.02kwhr from selling said power when its not needed…which seems to be about 95% of the time.
The producers are making money and the taxpayers are paying. So much for Wind Power in Ontario. Talk about EXTORTION
The Liberals in Ontario must be, in my opinion, Criminally prosecuted and where required, Jailed.
I’m just curious to see what/when the breaking point will be…it is in fact coming…
