  1. For the wind farm issues with turbines falling apart:

    “The weather and wind in VesterĂ¥len are probably among the toughest things you can subject such machinery to,”

    Sounds like a serious lack of site review to determine if it was appropriate (by both the company and regulatory bodies). Those blades routinely go 100-180 mph anyway (for the outside tip). There is level of wind that “should” automatically shut the turbines down (for safety reasons as well as just the stresses on the machines), Apparently being an unusually windy place, that site is would seem to be totally unacceptable for such a use.
