I suspect that an integral fire fighting system would have been of
more use to the two Dutch engineers.

But a lot more expensive than a fire proof rope.

That was the point of my suggestion that wind generators should be
subject to more regulation - price them out of the market.

I'm not convinced it would do that. The cost of an integrated
fire system would be a pretty small part of the total cost.

It's a start. I'm sure that a thorough investigation of all the
potential risks could produce a lot more regulations. For example,
enclosing the blades in a cage to contain them if they break up or fall off.
