Testing in Norway has found bisphenol A (BPA) in discarded wind turbine blades. BPA is an industrial chemical and recognized endocrine disruptor that can interfere with the body's hormone system. Authorities now want independent testing of soil, vegetation, and water around wind farms. Turbine blades spend decades exposed to rain, hail, ice, UV, and mechanical stress. They erode and crack, with old blades cut up and buried. We now await the test results to see exactly how much BPA escapes into the environment.

Spanish company Vortex Bladeless is developing a new way to generate wind energy without blades or a spinning rotor. Its cylindrical mast oscillates in the wind, and an electromagnetic generator converts this motion into electricity. With low maintenance and no rotating blades, the technology could be useful in urban and protected areas while reducing impacts on wildlife.

China has one of the largest and most integrated electricity systems. The ARISE NEWS team traveled by Train from Dalian to Shenyang (final destination, Beijing) and I saw massive Wind Turbines. China is the world’s top producer of Wind turbines. Official figures put installed capacity at 640 Gigawatts in 2025 But that’s capacity. Wind doesn’t blow all year. What did the Wind Turbines actually generate? About 1,000 Terrawatt-Hours (TWh). That’s 1 Trillion Kilowatt-Hours (kWh) That’s about 22 times Nigeria’s entire output. Average 5,000MW over a year x 8,760 hours is 43.8 TWh What about the cost of building an onshore wind Turbine? A 5 Megawatt Wind Turbine costs about $4m - $5m according to IRENA (International Renewable Energy Agency) The Turbine alone isn’t enough. There’s still Transmission, Substations, Batteries, metering and more. Electricity costs money. #China #Wind #Renewables #WindEnergy

A modern wind turbine looks deceptively simple from the outside. The largest onshore turbines now use blades stretching beyond 80 metres, sweeping more than 20,000 m² of air. Yet the entire structure rotates at only around 10-20 RPM. Actually, inside the nacelle is a precision gearbox that transforms this slow, high-torque rotation into the 1,000-1,800 RPM required by the generator. This gearbox is one of the most demanding mechanical systems in renewable energy. It continuously transmits megawatts of power, while surviving changing wind loads, vibration and billions of fatigue cycles over a 20-25 year lifespan. Inside are planetary gear stages, precision-ground alloy steel gears, advanced bearings, lubrication systems and cooling circuits. Some of the largest geared turbines contain close to 1000+ liters of specialised synthetic oil to manage lubrication and heat during continuous operation. A single large onshore turbine can cost around $4-5 million, with complete projects costing significantly more after foundations, roads, electrical systems and installation. The goal is for the machine to recover its capital cost within roughly 5-10 years, then continue producing electricity for decades. This is why reliability is the biggest challenge. Gearboxes, bearings, generators and electrical systems remain critical failure points, pushing engineers toward better materials, sensors and predictive maintenance. The scale of this industry is enormous. China has become the world’s largest wind turbine manufacturing and exporting hub, with several Chinese companies among the largest turbine suppliers globally. Building a wind turbine is not just about capturing wind in an efficient manner, It is about creating a machine that can convert wind energy into electricity for millions of hours with minimal human intervention and sustain millions of load cycles.

Wind power is sold as clean, but the turbines need extensive raw materials. Taking just the blades, a single set of three blades uses as many as 40 mature balsa trees. Balsa wood is light, strong and flexible, which makes it useful inside giant turbine blades that need to bend with the wind. Demand has surged and legal supply cannot keep up, so wild balsa is cut from protected Amazon rainforest where it should not be touched. It is then mixed into the legal supply and passed off as plantation wood. By the time it reaches manufacturers, illegal rainforest timber looks clean on paper. More than 500,000 balsa trees are illegally logged each year to feed wind turbine demand. Protected forest cut down, indigenous land raided, biodiversity destroyed - sold to the West as "green" energy.

The Department of the Environment didn’t answer the question so I will. And I quote: “Bisphenol A is a highly toxic synthetic organic compound used in the epoxy resins of turbine blades. Epoxy resins contain 30-40 per cent bisphenol A and turbine blades are the largest global consumer of epoxy resins. The annual global production of bisphenol A is about 2 billion kilograms and is increasing because the spearing of the environment with wind turbines is today’s fad. Bisphenol A is an endocrine disrupter that has been linked to about 80 diseases including cancers and reproductive disorders. It is lethal for young children. In 2012, the World Health Organisation warned about the potentially carcinogenic properties of endocrine disrupters and concluded that they pose a global threat to public health. The European Food Safety Authority has massively reduced by 1,000 times the dietary intake of bisphenol A to one hundred millionth of a gram per kilogram of body weight per day. All this is public record information which the wind industry must know. The leading edges of turbine blades shed fine dust and blade edges only have a 5-year guarantee. Each blade sheds a minimum of 0.2 to 2.5 grams of bisphenol A in dust per year. This dust is spread wide and far by wind. If one gram of bisphenol A gets into dam waters, 10 million litres of water are rendered unusable. Over the life of a turbine, this equates to pollution of half a trillion litres of water per turbine. This is real pollution, not the alleged pollution of carbon dioxide, the gas of life. This dust from eroding blades has covered large areas of our planet and bisphenol A is leaching into soils and waterways. This is a toxic time-bomb.” Quote from: #auspol

Wind power is sold as technological progress, but German professor Ludecke disagrees and has called it a return to the Medieval Ages. His calculation puts Germany's onshore wind output at an annual average of just 3.6 watts per square meter, whereas a coal plant comes in at 7,000 watts. That gap cannot be fixed with a taller tower or a larger blade. Wind is weak, scattered and weather dependent. And the output collapses quickly: half the wind speed and the available power falls to one-eighth. To harvest wind, turbines must be spread across vast areas, connected by new transmission lines and backed by reliable power plants for when the wind drops. Civilization advanced by replacing diffuse, unreliable energy with concentrated controllable power. Net Zero reverses that progress.

Major wind turbine manufacturers have been hit by an asbestos scandal. At Australia's $4 billion Golden Plains wind farm, testing on turbines has come back positive. Units are now quarantined and the manufacturer is launching global checks across its supply chain. This follows the asbestos found at a number of Chinese turbine manufacturers. Serious environmental concerns are now mounting. Wind blades can't be recycled, not economically or at scale. So tens of thousands of tons of blades are dumped every year, buried in pits with endless more coming as first-generation turbines hit their end of life, which is typically just 15 years. An industry sold as clean is leaving mountains of toxic waste that can't be recycled.

A turbine blade at the Vineyard Wind Project off Nantucket shattered in July 2024. Thousands of fiberglass and foam fragments washed into the ocean and onto Nantucket's beaches. Every south-facing beach was temporarily closed to swimmers while cleanup crews collected the debris. Federal regulators halted power production and further turbine construction while the failure was investigated. The company, GE Vernova, traced the failure to a manufacturing defect at its factory. Specifically, insufficient bonding inside the blade. Inspectors found the same bonding defect in at least 66 of the 72 blades already installed, with the blades ultimately having to be removed. GE Vernova later agreed to pay Nantucket $10.5 million over the incident. That is a remarkable environmental fail for technology being sold as the "clean energy future."

China completes installation of world's largest single-unit floating offshore wind turbine The world's largest single-unit 16-megawatt floating offshore wind turbine "Three Gorges Pilot" was installed on Saturday in waters off Yangjiang, south China's Guangdong Province. The 16-megawatt floating offshore wind turbine consists of three parts, namely a 16 mw ultra-large capacity wind turbine, a semi-submersible floating platform, and a new mooring system. With a maximum tip height exceeding 270 meters, the wind turbine rotor has a diameter of 252 meters, with a swept area equivalent to seven standard football fields. Unlike traditional fixed-bottom turbines that are physically connected to the seabed, it is installed on a semi-submersible floating platform measuring 80.82 meters long, 91 meters wide, and with a displacement of 24,100 tons. The platform is secured through nine suction anchors, combined with domestically produced high-performance polyester fiber cables and anchor chains for seabed mooring and positioning. "To deal with the harsh sea conditions, our team has developed and applied a new mooring system, a dynamic monitoring system, an active ballast system, and 66 kV dynamic submarine cables for the first time in China," said Pan Hongguan, an offshore wind power engineer from Guangdong Branch of China Three Gorges Corporation (CTG). According to Pan, the new mooring system combines polyester cable and anchor chain, which is like adding a "spring" to the middle of the system, to deliver superior mechanical performance. The "Three Gorges Pilot" wind turbine previously completed its integrated assembly at Tieshan Port in Beihai of south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It arrived at its target sea area located more than 70 kilometers off the coast of Yangjiang after a long-distance towed voyage across the Qiongzhou Strait which connects South China's island province of Hainan with Guangdong Province on the mainland. After being put into operation, the wind turbine is expected to generate approximately 44.65 million kilowatt-hours of clean energy annually, enough to meet the annual electricity demand of 24,000 households.

Why does the turbine stop responding to stronger flow in the high-speed case when your natural instinct would expect it to keep speeding up? At that point, the blades are mostly interacting with the disturbed wake they created themselves. So, torque from different regions start cancelling and flipping in sign. The system hits a saturated balance. More inflow doesn't mean more net rotation, just more turbulence around the equilibrium. If you don't believe me take it up with: Wind Energy Explained (Manwell, McGowan & Rogers, 2010) or Aerodynamics of Wind Turbines (Hansen, 2008).

“Work has been suspended at a major wind farm project south west of Warwick after storms snapped a wind turbine blade. McIntrye Wind Farm recently connected some of its turbines to the grid, those works are on hold as it investigates the incident.” “The 458MW Coopers Gap wind farm in south west Queensland, the newest and biggest wind project built to date in Australia – is to undergo major repairs after faults were found in its commissioning process. AGL, which operates the $850 million project and is a joint owner through the Powering Australia Renewables Fund, said in a statement that the blades of one of the 123 turbines will have to be replaced entirely, while GE Catcon is also going to replace “generators” – referring to the equipment in the nacelle at the top of the wind tower – in a further 50 turbines.” •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Not only are wind farms unreliable in terms of wind dependent generation. They break easily as we saw last week on the Darling Downs. If the blades on a wind farm can’t survive a summer storm on the Darling Downs they will be useless. This is just another example of wind farms being unreliable. A few years ago wind farm had to replace 50 out of 123 turbines just after it was commissioned. Australia cannot not afford to be pursuing Net Zero policies being pushed by the two major parties. We should focus on using our coal, uranium and gas resources instead of imported materials.

The UK bet its energy future on offshore wind. Massive projects like Hornsey and Dogger Bank were sold as the backbone of net zero. Billions were spent in subsidies, but the industry has just hit a wall. In the latest government auction, there wasn't a single developer bid. Turbine and maintenance costs went up, but subsidies didn't. Developers ran the numbers. The projects were unprofitable. Major offshore plans were cancelled or delayed, with companies like Orsted writing off billions in losses. Britain's cheap wind promise collapsed the moment it met real-world economics. Offshore wind is an expensive disaster.
