An ecological and economic disaster. A guest comment by Dagmar Jastrozemski from November 21, 2023. With the supposedly climate-saving giant plants, severe havoc with inevitable consequences for man and nature is rampant. Nevertheless, the public is largely silent about it. On the night of October 14-15, an 80-meter-long wing fell off a wind turbine in the Windpark Alfstedt-Ebersdorf in the Rothenburg-Wümme district of Lower Saxony. Subsequently, the district shut down all eight wind power plants, i.e. the energy office in Bremen. The plants of a total height of 250 meters were only put into operation in May and June 2022. Already in September of last year, a rotor wing of another wind turbine was bent in the same wind park and shortly thereafter broken off. Sharp-edged debris pieces and fine debris on the surrounding meadows and hedges were scattered and scattered for months, distributed over a radius of more than 1,800 meters around the wind turbine. Only at the end of February did the energy office respond to the demand of the district to transport the broken pieces and clean the area. So far, the 50 damaged farmers have not received compensation for not being able to manage their meadows and hedges in a limited manner. The district had failed to produce a soil assessment to determine the contamination of the soils by fine, so-called nasty fibers of nanoparticle size as a result of the damage. The manufacturer of the rotor blades is General Electric Wind Energy, short for GE Wind, in Salzberg, Lower Saxony, a subsidiary of the US company General Electric. Again, on 26 October, a rotor blade of the wind turbine broke off, which had already lost a blade in mid-October. It seems that the controversial issue of the cause can be solved in due time. Wind power failures at an unreachable height. In the context of this, it is obvious that neither politics nor the companies in the wind industry are interested in the fact that data and information about wind turbines are being published. The damage should probably not come as a shock. According to a private account, a total of 56 wind power failures were documented for 2022, after 35 in the year before, and thus as many as never before. Broken rotor blades, machine houses burning for hours at an unreachable height, and, as a novelty, collapsed towers. The steeply increasing number often goes back to incidents with the new types of systems, which again shot up by 50 meters and thus to a total height of 250 meters. The hub height of the towers is 160 to 175 meters, the rotor diameter 160 to 180 meters. For comparison, the Olmer Münster, just before the Cologne Cathedral, the highest church in the world, measures 161 meters. The Colosseum in Rome reaches a maximum diameter of 188 meters. To illustrate the size of a wind turbine, one imagines that the Colosseum would rotate sideways at the top of the church tower. And the land circles participate. Why not build the wind turbines even higher, to achieve more wind output, popular choice of the so-called windmills, and thus higher revenues? In China, the USA, and recently also in Europe, in remote regions such as Norway, and Sweden, Lapland, extended wind parks have been set up, in which 300 meters high wind turbines are still being added. More deaths of reindeer. The industry expects a leap in performance from the skyscraper windmills, as they absorb the stronger and more even high wind. Another comparison. The Eiffel Tower is 328 meters high, the Cologne Cathedral 157 meters. Accordingly, the ground vibrations generated by the gigantic industrial facilities, flickering shadows, clocked noises, and the health-damaging infrasound. From the devastation of large regions in the Scandinavian tundra, only the indigenous Sami people are affected by their reindeer herds. But the Sami in Norway demand with their supporters the reconstruction of all 151 windmills, because the gigantic wind turbines frightened their animals. The number of miscarriages and deaths among the reindeer should be significantly increased. With their demand, the Scandinavian indigenous people should be granted more rights than the rest of the EU citizens. The last leap in size of the windmills is reminiscent of the parable of the tower-building to Babel. But in the present, it is not a single building, but a whole army of raw-material-degrading industrial anomalies in our landscapes and more and more often in protected forests, allegedly to achieve a fictional climate neutrality. In reality, however, because the financial market-relevant green-capitalist business with the actually non-regenerative natural energies is also politically relevant and therefore uncritically supported in the international competition. Rotors longer than a Boeing 747 Since 2019, GE is building rotor blades of 107 meters in length, and 1.4 times as long as a Boeing 747. LM Windpower, with its headquarters in Kolding, Denmark, has been producing rotor blades of 100 meters in length in French Cherbourg since 2019. Developers in Saxony want to build two 380-meter-high windmills soon. To minimize the weight of the blades, the manufacturers use almost only the more expensive carbon fiber-enhanced plastics CFK. The typical balsa wood of 50 trees is processed in the constructions of PFAS Chemikalie Bisphenol A, among others. CFK materials reach temperatures of more than 650 degrees in a fire and fall to the critical size of nanoparticles that can penetrate the lungs, as Sebastian Eibl from the Institute of Environmental Sciences in Erding said. You can't put out fires. In the Allgäu municipality of Fuchstal from September to the beginning of October three windmills in the municipality forest Leda have already delivered all new rotor blades of the manufacturer LM Windpower damaged. The hub height of the windmills is 166 meters. The length of the blades is 80 meters. For the storage and transport to the towers, wide slits were drilled in the forest. LM Windpower was taken over by GE in 2016, but remained operationally independent. For the regulation of cost costs must be determined whether the cracks in the strongly bent rotor blades on the long transport route from Denmark via Swinemünde to Fuchstal have arisen or due to a construction error. As it is said, the operation of the windmills should be delayed by only three months due to the damage. The investment costs for the municipality and Bürgerwindpark amount to 22 million euros. In December 2022, an XXL windmill of the manufacturer Vestas with wings made of CFK plastic was completely demolished. The Repower plant was only built in 2021. At the height, the fire brigade could not extinguish the fire and therefore had the fire controlled. Extinguishing measures on windmills are not possible. The fire brigade had to limit itself to the spacious closure of the site and the fight against wildfires. Unknown consequences. Is there a danger? On January 16, Petra Weishaupt, an employee of the Federal Environment Agency, said on TV of the Saarländisch Rundfunk that she does not see any danger due to dangerous fibers. It is not known to what extent nasty fibers are released in such fires. This is due to the danger of burning wind turbines with the effect of a large-scale pollution of forests and soils due to fibers and nanoparticles. They rely on the actions of the government. Further information about the considerable contamination of the environment with pollutants as a result of the explosion of wind turbines is urgently needed. In the Hohenmarck near Lippramsdorf, Haltern, the tower of a wind turbine of a total height of 249 meters collapsed the day before it was put into operation. The engine room collapsed with all the technical systems and rotor blades. The wind turbine of the Nordex manufacturer could not be rebuilt and was therefore blown up in April 2022. A self-destructive process. A 3,000 square meter large piece of forest had to be removed and blown up with the same type of wind turbines. With the large-scale environmental pollution caused by fires, breaks of rotor blades and explosions, no one in this country knows what to do. Instead, the problem is tried to be solved for a while. The numerous recent failures and high financial losses of the wind turbines manufacturers, not least through sheer gigantomania, do not open up a playground The greed of the businessmen with the natural energies leads to a self-destructive process when the playgrounds of the feasible collide with the physically technical limits. Does the technology competition ruin the wind turbine industry? The headline of an article in the Handelsblatt of July 25, 2023 was the technical development of the wind turbines is rapid, but it has its price. The industry is well advised that the wind turbine industry should be more, faster, and more meaningful. The companies put additional pressure on the lack of skilled workers and rising raw material prices. Wind power makes horrendous losses After the billions of debacle at Siemens Gamesa, many participants were encouraged to take a break from the race. In an interview with the World on Sunday, Siemens Energy concluded, Noteworthy? Despite decades of state aid and billions of subsidies, the Schlamassel has stepped away from the tax budget. The federal government had practically abolished the supply chain law on wind. If it were to be amended, the dead silent would be the dead silent. The headlines climate protection and sustainability of the actually non-regenerative wind energy would now be maculature. About the author.
