I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I doubt that turbines or solar panels or solar plants will actually
work for the lifetimes that are used to calculate return. I sure
wouldn't want a mess of solar panels, with their associated
wiring/controls/inverters, on my houses.

Probably had a locked rotor, and the ideal wind direction.
They can't spin too fast either with out the same results.

Do an image search for

wrecked wind turbines

or

destroyed wind turbines

or

damaged wind turbines

or

burning wind turbines

and get stuff like http://tinyurl.com/kx6l7lr


Cool pics! Tide-powered things are even worse, but at least they
seldom catch fire.

At least a wind turbine falling over is relatively harmless.
