The Heat Did Not Melt a Texas Wind Turbine

In recent days, a number of social media users have been claiming that the heatwave currently hitting parts of the U.S. has been so severe that it caused a wind turbine to melt in Texas. These users have used a photograph of what appears to be a melted wind turbine as evidence. Some users have even attempted to politicize the image, claiming that wind turbines that come from places such as China or California are manufactured sloppily, and cannot cope with the Texas heat.

Some of the posts have gained hundreds of interactions.
