    Hi All:

    Have you ever seen a sadder sight :(

    I took my son back to Iowa after his spring break on Sunday and saw this on the way out near DeKalb, IL while on I-88.

    Next to Busted Wind Turbine.​

    I have never seen this before and while we had some winds the previous weeks; I do not remember any being over 30-mph gusts for the past month or so?

    Oops.

    See, that's the problem with wind. Intermittent and the turbines break. It's all so pointless.

    :rolleyes:

    Gairwyn think green

    I'm just noticing the old windmill in the background on the lower picture. I wonder how old that is?
