Turbine fires are much more common than believed, and about 10 times more than are reported. Imagine a fire in the Great Lakes. Each turbine can contain up to 700 gallons of oil and lubricants, which leaks and needs to be replenished.  The blades are non recyclable carbon fibre, and there are about 2 tons of rare earth elements in the magnets of a 3 MW turbine.  Completely the child of fossil fuels. Not clean, not free, not green!
