Besides Resigning From The Copenhagen Climate Summit, Connie Hedegaard Investigated Vestas's...

...failing wind plants.

One reason I suspect that Connie "resigned" on the night before the failed Copenhagen Climate Summit was that she might have suspected that someone, might um, question Denmark's energy policies which are, http://193.88.185.141/Graphics/Publikationer/Olie_Gas_UK/oil_and_gas_production_in_denmark_07/index.htm">Drill Baby Drill and oh, um, shoot off a red herring called "we're really doing wind..." to distract attention.

Denmark is very proud of Vestas of course, which builds windmills that are famous on virial web videos for breaking up spectacularly.

It seems that Connie may have gotten herself in some trouble for complaining and threatening to investigate two wind turbines that blew apart in Denmark in the same week in 2008.

The climate minister will begin an investigation into two separate cases of Vestas wind turbines collapsing within the past week. It's not nice to question wind. It's um sacred and above examination because it's, um, perfect because um, wind advocates say so.

So shut your mouth, Connie...climate ministers are supposed to be seen and not heard...

The climate minister, Connie Hedegaard, is calling for an investigation to determine the cause of two violent wind turbine collapses in Denmark in the past week.

Both of the windmills were produced by Vestas, and Hedegaard's request to the Energy Board comes after other breakdowns both here and abroad have been reported in the past two months.

'The problems with the turbines abroad have had to do with poor maintenance, and if that's the case here, then I expect a clear report on how we can ensure this problem is rectified,' Hedegaard told Berlingske Tidende newspaper.

Her comments come on the heels of the government's new energy agreement ratified by parliament last week, which calls for the country to have 20 percent of its energy produced by sustainable sources by 2011.

In first of the two collapses, near the city of Århus, a 10-year-old windmill began spinning out of control during high winds. A recording of the explosion-like collapse shows one of the wing blades breaking off, casting debris into the three other wings and shearing the 60- metre tower nearly in half...
