Wind farms seem to be popping up all over the United State, including Iowa, Michigan, and Rhode Island, but folks in the UK may be keeping a safe distance from wind power turbines, at least for now.  Security guards have been sent to protect the broken blades of a wind turbine near Conisholme, England, which UFO hunters believe were damaged by a strange aircraft last week.  According to the Telegraph, local residents reported seeing “orange-yellow spheres in the sky, which some described as trailing octopus-like ‘tentacles”.  Whoa!

Perhaps the unidentified visitors are intrigued by or jealous of our efforts to create sustainable energy, having burned up all of their fossil fuels and made their planet uninhabitable.  Or maybe they were going for a drunken joy ride, and missed seeing the 65 foot blades.  Or perhaps Don Quixote had something to do with the incident.

Then again, maybe the darn thing just came loose.  It’s certainly a better outcome than the recent “accident”  at a certain Tennessee coal plant.
takepart by helping to solve the climate crisis, and keep an eye to the sky, the climate truth is out there…
