The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Well if one can fail so easily, it does make you wonder about the rest!

Imagine if they had been around in the storm of 1987.  Not would there be scenes of trees all lying on their sides, but wind turbines as well! :o :o :o 

Bet there are a lot of worried people in that industry! ::) ::) ::) :D :D ;)

I bet there is not. They will have replacement at governments cost written in the clauses. Same as they get paid if they are not generating. The worried people are actually the joe public - they just don't realsie it.
