Nantucket Wind Turbine Failure Sparks Environmental and Safety Concerns

Residents demand answers and accountability after debris from a broken turbine blade litters local beaches and waters.

Experts confirm the blade materials are non-toxic, but residents remain worried about potential health risks.
The blade failure was due to a manufacturing defect that should have been caught during inspection, according to GE Vernova.
Clean-up efforts are ongoing, with officials urging the public to avoid handling debris themselves.
The incident has fueled opposition to wind farms, despite assurances that such failures are rare.
Local officials and residents are pushing for full transparency and measures to prevent future incidents.
