“Nasty fibres” given off by wind turbine blades are as dangerous as asbestos

Wind turbines are not only damaging to the environment and wildlife, but they pose risks to human health as well. Damage to wind turbine rotor blades could release not only sharp-edged, larger fragments but also very fine, respirable fibre dust from carbon fibres, so-called “nasty fibres.”

These fibres are as carcinogenic as asbestos and can get into our bodies through our skin and our lungs. It is not only humans that these fibres pose a risk to, it is animals as well.

It has been known about these “nasty fibres” emitted from windmill blades for over a decade.

Man, if you ever learn what confirmation bias is, you're going to be so mad if they tell you to be.

“We’ve Been Steamrolled”: Fishermen Protest Offshore Wind Following Turbine Failure That Shed Debris Into the Atlantic

Scores of fishermen took to the seas Sunday to protest offshore wind developments after a damaged wind blade scattered toxic debris off the coast of Massachusetts.

The blade, a part of the Vineyard Wind development, broke on July 13, spilling Styrofoam, fiberglass and other debris, some of which ended up on Nantucket’s pristine beaches.

No, but believing such garbage without even attempting to verify it definitely makes you look gullible.

That's not the actual source - like so much right-wing propaganda it's just a repost, like what Viking did here. The point wasn't to test your ability to google a headline, but rather to see if he bothered to source the bit of nonsense he shared.

If you did possess a shred of intellectual curiosity, you might have followed the citations back to this Wordpress blog ( https://expose-news.com/2024/08/06/nasty-fibres-given-off-by-wind-turbine-blades/ ), only to find only a brief summary was actually authored by 'Rhoda Wilson'.

Of course, that Rhoda Wilson doesn't seem to actually exist, and even if 'she' did, 'she' -isn't the source either-, but is just reposting a long diatribe by some right-wing substack fiction writer with the pseudonym 'Epimetheus' who claims to be a Norweigan historian named Stephan Sander-Faes.

But the problem is, Stephan Sander-Faes doesn't use that moniker on substack - nor has he ever published anything about windmills... you can see for yourself here: https://espc.substack.com/

The moral of this lesson is don't drink stupid propaganda out of open sewers.
