know anything about the refining of gold used in the super efficient electronic controllers for those wind farms? The generators with a 59% failure rate after 24 months? (windings burning out, one phase melts and shorts) The manufacturer has gag orders and NDAs preventing most people from talking about it. I have a friend at the power company who was visiting one of these wind farms in Eastern washington when one of the turbines shorted out and started smoking. hard to put it out when it is 240 feet up in the air.....
