The Belka incident took place in the Nikolian voivodeship of Mazuria on 19 May 2016. A cow named Belka was struck and killed by a 30 metre blade that had detached and fallen from a wind turbine. The event sparked popular outrage in Nikolia, with hundreds gathering to protest and thousands venting their frustration via social media.[1]
The incident had serious consequences for the Nikolian Power Network, which began a review of its turbines, and for the highly-competitive Trellinese energy market where major companies TanzPetro and TL Fünselg slandered each other on social media.[2]
