Via MSN, AccuWeather reports on a wind turbine bursting into flames in Mahanoy City, Pennsylvania last month with some positive spin:

Firefighters say it burned out on its own without causing brush fires.

Good thing there was snow on the ground.

Also, it’s a good thing they don’t construct these hideous, inefficient, bird-killing, extravagantly expensive, unsafe, but politically correct monstrosities in places prone to wildfires, like California and Arizona. Oh wait…
