Wind farm back with fix for fallen blade

A desert wind farm supplying electricity to San Diego is back online after the conclusion of a probe into a fallen turbine blade.
Turbine manufacturer Siemens found that the detachment of a 170-foot blade at the Ocotillo Wind power plant in May, along with a second blade at an Iowa wind farm April, were the result of insufficient adhesive bonding.
