Is this real or speeded up
Is this touched up?
Was it deliberate to test it?
Does it prove they are all unsafe?
Do we want the alternative, remember Windscale, remember Long Island and other disasters. There is always an element of risk.
According to this article, two out of 35,000 turbines manufactured by this company have failed in this manner. Not a bad failure rate. And as Matthew says, you can never completely eliminate risk with any technology.
