'On the 23rd of December
one of the five 200ft wind turbines at the Nissan Car plant suffered
a catastrophic fire after undergoing unsuccessful attempts to repair
a fault. The entire structure, including nacelle (the box on top
of the tower, to which the blades are attached) and 75ft long blades
were destroyed. Police were forced to close the nearby A1231 and
A19 for over an hour and half, until the turbine structure had burned
away, because of safety fears.'
