From the London Daily Mail:
Wind turbine fire risk: Number that catch alight each year is ten times higher than the industry admits
Nearly 120 wind turbines catch fire each year, according to new research - ten times the number reported by the industry.
The figures, compiled by engineers at Imperial College London and the University of Edinburgh, make fire the second-largest cause of accidents after blade failure.
The researchers claim that out of 200,000 turbines around the world, 117 fires take place annually - far more than the 12 reported by wind farm companies.
Renewable energy is a scam - it is so much more expensive than traditional energy and it is we the people who are paying for it. We need nuclear now!
