To the many reasons not to waste taxpayer money subsidizing hideous, unreliable, and inefficient wind turbines, we can add havoc caused by blades falling onto the highway:

A windmill turbine blade became loose Monday morning, crossing the median on Interstate 70 in Maryland and causing traffic to be backed up for several miles.

The blade fell not from above but out of a tractor trailer that was hauling it. Luckily, no one was killed.

Drivers traveling in the area could expect heavy delays as crews worked to remove the turbine from the highway.

Assuming it was damaged, off to the landfill it goes, where it will take up space forever because wind turbine blades are not biodegradable. Or maybe moonbats can persuade people to eat it.

On a tip from Wiggins.
