Life on the Farm
Buckskinner:
Thankfully those turbines do not grow well around here...
bjrogg:
Yea WB these are the biggest ones in our area. There have been several different groups or “Wind Farms” put up in the thumb of Michigan.
From what I can see these where the most annoying putting them up, but have been the least amount of trouble running them.

bjrogg:
Buckskinner I’m certainly not a huge fan of them either. I do kinda wish they didn’t grow so good around here.
They have had to change and fix about 1/3 of the “sails” or blades which go to land fills.
Otherwise these have been regular maintenance.
Some of the other ones were not so good. Several broken blades. And I mean broken in two pieces laying out in the fields.
They even had one that the blade hit the tower and the whole tower came down.
It has been entertaining.

Gimlis Ghost:
A couple of years ago a blade broke off one of these and landed in a school playground. A few minutes either way and it could have mowed down dozens of kids.
GlisGlis:
Bj do you have experience of birds being killed by the blades?
I've heard about it but never had evidence
