Alexandra(@Alexandr4Denman):WELL DONE MILLIBAND JUST WONDERFUL! Over a thousand wind turbines across Britain contain banned ASBESTOS in brake parts supplied by Chinese manufacturers . The chrysotile asbestos banned in Britain since 1999 was found in lift and hoist brakes . A major and very expensive ( paid by the taxpayer ) clean up operation is now underway with costs expected to be substantial . Not forgetting if any of those brake pads broke and the asbestos got into the ground the fibres don't break down they would stay in the soil for a longtime making the land contaminated meaning it couldn't be disturbed with digging or grown on . Dangerous stuff if airborne The GMB union is demanding full details from the government .
