Thousands of wind turbines soar toward the sky along the Columbia River gorge. Earlier this year, a blade came cascading down. No one was hurt, but the failure was more than just a one-off.
As America increasingly moves to wind, solar and other renewable energies, who maintains that infrastructure and keeps it safe – and who holds the industry accountable is a big unanswered question.
On the latest episode of Beat Check with The Oregonian, we chat with investigative reporter Ted Sickinger.
We talked about when he first caught wind of this story, why Oregonians should care, what has gone wrong out at Biglow Canyon in the gorge and much more.
