As for the dangers for school children, they have more chance of being shot by their classmates and other gun nuts than being injured by wind turbines.[ Parent ]
Or getting run over by the school bus. Or getting killed in sports. All of which are not related to nuts with guns.
"Some of the engineers on this project were part of the team that worked on the Canadian 4MW Darrieus, so they ought to know what they are doing." - well they sure know what doesn't work long term. 14 months is not long term testing - IMO.

I "think" the cheap pot shot was the comment about guns in the hands of children. Indeed you can be killed by many things and I find it unlikely that safety can be legislated whether it be traffic laws, electrical safety or gun laws. I find it rather ludicrous to have untested technology of a large rotating nature with a fall zone that includes a concentration of humans, especially children.
Personally, I took the gun comment as a cheap shot at legal gun ownership but thats just me. Everyone has their agenda, that is clear.
Could be wrong tho.

Without fools, you could not look intelligent. There is no knowledge without questions.

It's all about what society a person grows up in. Look how you have risen to the bait about guns - and I consider one child killed by another with an easily aquired gun rather an expensive shot not a cheap one - but then I come from a different part of the world. In years to come there may be many Windstor or other types of fairly large wind turbines in urban areas and people will think no more of it than you think of owning a gun. But rest assured if one of them fails causing serious loss of life before they catch on that will end urban siting of large wind turbines, but no matter how many people are killed by guns not too much is done about it where you are, but then that's your affair and not mine.
Please give Windstor a chance, I am pretty sure it's an important addition to wind energy.[ Parent ]
