Wind Turbine Blades and Parts Fall into the Sea
MPI Offshore, an offshore installation service firm owned by Van Oord, accidentally dropped three wind turbine blades into the sea, while conducting scheduled maintenance at Vattenfall's Ormonde wind farm in the Irish Sea, off the UK on 18-10-2021. According to the incident report, MPI Offshore's MPI ADVENTURE jack-up vessel last week jacked up alongside Ormonde B01 wind turbine and dropped three 61 m turbine blades and a blade clamping tool weighing 3000-3100kg overboard. |

Re: Wind Turbine Blades and Parts Fall into the Sea
I really don't think that's the proper method to use to try and harness those ocean currents that can provide household currents.

Re: Wind Turbine Blades and Parts Fall into the Sea
Yet another instance of an "eco-friendly" concept turning out to be an ecological disaster.  |

Re: Wind Turbine Blades and Parts Fall into the Sea
What kind of music do wind turbines like? They’re big metal fans.  |

Re: Wind Turbine Blades and Parts Fall into the Sea
They are more of a waste than they are good. The cost is crazy. The repairs are costly and difficult. The longevity isn’t there so for all of the above they’re a very poor source of energy. The steel mills burning coal to make all the steel needed for those things. Absolutely one of the poorest solutions for energy ever created.  |
