Happily, when the giant wind turbine at a high school collapsed, due to the blades spinning out of control, it was the weekend and no students were in any danger. This time.

"Propellers" have had controllable-pitch blades since the 1920s, including "flat/feathered" (doesn't turn) and 'reverse' settings. Why haven't the geniuses in the 'wind-power industry' thought to implement these features?

It seems we read every week of "Herp-derp, it won't stop!" and/or 'Muh overspeed!!' in the wind-farm news. Don't they have adult supervision?

Do you really think anyone involved with the "green" agenda has any form of adult supervision? They're all overgrown children.

Next time, only God knows if nobody will be harmed or killed. It seems to be this place:

Where there is a giant windmill right next to a baseball field.
