I have heard stories about turbines falling apart or starting on fire. What have some of the problems been with turbines?
There have been some problems with certain brands of wind turbines in the past, specifically Suzlon. These turbines have been known to have blades that crack, vibrate excessively, spin out of control and generate only about two-thirds of the expected output. Improvements in technology have recently diminished the problems for Suzlon, according to a spokesperson.
