Videos of failing windmills are readily available, and I've seen others even more spectacular. It's an ongoing process. Maybe the perfect wind-harnessing mechanism is still in the future and just hasn't been envisioned yet. Maybe it's under development.

Still, the failure of one windmill has little long-term or widespread impact..... unlike these.

If the technology isn't ready then why force it on people? Make it better and people will buy it. It's not efficient....NUCLEAR is hands down the most efficient why the GREEN opposition to it then? Take that and chew it over...what do the Greenies get from saying "no" to nuclear? What's the hangup they have on it?

Where did the oil come from? The Earth...mother nature is a big complex thing and this sort of thing is bound to have happened naturally before (meaning certainly oil has been released into nature in mass amounts before, it has to have) and what happened? Did the world end? Did the Oceans dry up? Did the fish vanish? NO if there's a natural mess, Mother Nature typically handles it and oftentimes comes out the better for it....forest fires (to an extent) are quite beneficial to nature, hurricanes are beneficial albeit a pain in property owners' asses, flooding can be beneficial...oil comes from the Earth and Mother Nature handles her own shit....might look bad for creatures in the direct vicinity but on the whole, not even a drop in the bucket. I'm not saying it's a brilliant thing, I'm just saying it's going to be handled regardless of what we as humans do.
