The wind turbine was a Nordtank NTK 600-180/43 with a maximum generation capacity of 600 kW at Hornslet, Denmark at It was operated by Syddjurs and inaugurated on 23 December 1996. The rotor of this turbine, which carried in the Danish wind turbine register the designation 570715000000021503, had a diameter of 43 metres.
As the debate over wind turbines heats up in Dickinson County one of the go-to arguments against them is the effect they have on birds. Organizations have produced myriad reports over the past ...
Vineyard Wind's turbine AW-38 at the far south west section of the offshore wind farm, 22 miles south of Martha's Vineyard. One of the turbine's blades failed last month, splintering into pieces ...
Energy fatalities can occur, and with many systems deaths will happen often, even when the systems are working as intended. Historically, coal mining has been the most dangerous energy activity and the list of historical coal mining disasters is a long one. Underground mining hazards include suffocation, gas poisoning, roof collapse and gas ...
Energy harnessed by wind turbines is variable, and is not a "dispatchable" source of power; its availability is based on whether the wind is blowing, not whether electricity is needed. Turbines can be placed on ridges or bluffs to maximize the access of wind they have, but this also limits the locations where they can be placed. [ 116 ]

Wind-energy advocates contend that less than 1% of the land is used for foundations and access roads, the other 99% can still be used for farming. [12] A wind turbine needs about 200–400 m 2 for the foundation. With the increasing size of the wind turbine the relative size of the foundation decreases. [93]
The study also explored just how big wind turbines appear to the human eye. They found that, on average, a wind turbine five miles away appeared roughly the same size as an aspirin tablet held ...
