Re: 200 Foot Wind Turbine Tower Demolition

It would have been embarrassing had it fallen on the house.

It could have went very wrong. Not the usual and safest way to bring down a tower.

Re: 200 Foot Wind Turbine Tower Demolition

Wind energy, what a joke that turned out to be. Same for solar energy, by the time the windmills and panels are paid for they are toast. There was one company that figured it out with panels that were very cheap only to be raided by the feds and their technology given to a oil company. Their panels cost 20% of the ones made by the oil companies that own most solar companies. I spend a year of my life photographing alternative energy only to learn from the engineers building the projects it is a scam and a feel good thing that will never pay for itself. Go through Palm Springs or Tracy California and see all the towers that don't work as it is too expensive to repair all of them. Total lie.

I'm guessing it was just cheaper, faster and easier this way.

(Risk not withstanding.)

Since the company had gone out of business, the farmer might have been on his own as far as demolition and removal.

You said it, it's not worth it because the big companies make it unworthy. Why would they allow you to invest in something that would take money out of their pockets.
