How Wind Turbine Technicians Risk Their Lives to Keep Blades Spinning

Not only are these windmills mass animal and insect killers, they are also very expensive and dangerous to inspect and to fix. And communist China is the main producer!

You almost have to be a mountain climber to work on these windmills!
The engineers, while clinging with mountain climber gear to the blade, use a hammer to check the 70 meter long blade for cracks under the surface. You got to be kidding!

The fun of inspection or repairs really begins when the elevator of the windmill is broken.

This is insane!

Perhaps, one of the true reasons for setting up 10,000s of these windmills is job security for highly paid engineers. No robot is going to take their jobs soon!
