Wind turbines are machines that generate electricity from wind. They are getting bigger, but this is causing more problems with how they are made. Many of the biggest wind turbines are falling down in different parts of the world, and even smaller ones are also breaking. Companies tried to make big turbines very quickly to fight climate change. This led to some manufacturing problems, which is making it hard to keep the turbines working for a long time. Experts are worried that this is becoming a big problem.
