One of the world's tallest wind turbines, 239 meters (784 feet) suddenly collapsed in very light wind as it was beginning commercial operation. This was near Haltern, Germany in September 2021. Public discussions are inadequate about damage that will be caused by extreme summer wind storms and winter ice and wind storms. The distruction of these strong storms is evident in forests around the world. Collapsed and broken off-shore wind turbines are another nightmare that is not adequately addressed.

This video explains in simple terms why a 100% production of energy using windmills is impossible and unpayable in practice, despite all the positive information coming from green power advocates.
