Plus the landfills are full of broken unusable windmill parts when they break.
Dont windmills have by far the longest payback time of all 'green' alternatives too?
I think they are very expensive and they don't generate the electricity that the left tell everyone that they do. I saw a documentary on the news about them when that snowstorm hit Texas and that's how I found out about the parts not being recycled or reused for anything. The center that holds the blades were laying on the ground at the bottom of the windmill where someone had changed them out but left the part laying. I have no idea why they can not be recycled; especially as expensive as they are.
I would love to see a source on that.
Well tx is a blaring example. Pretty big roi set backs there i would say.
I will need to do more digging I to the issue. I have heard these claims, I just haven't seen the sauce. I know a city I grew up near was the first to put them up in Utah & have powered their city for almost 20 years this way with canyon winds that are always blowing.
My brother did accounting for a company who had an owner that did expert testimony on wind power as a civil engineer IIRC. I had asked that owner why there weren't more of them around & he kept a pretty good discussion about government being a hindrance to good locations in some areas & demanding a useless windmill(s) in other areas. He was a math based guy & facts were where he wanted those discussions kept. I never heard him say anything about windmills being a bad investment when used the right way, or about the parts not being able to be recycled/needing to be dumped. Granted this guy designed them from the ground up & the time I heard him talking about creap parts instead of good aluminum would come back to bite his client was in reference to this issue. No idea, but I will see if my brother still has their contact info so I can ask them.
Why can't those parts be reused/recycled?
I don't know, I saw it on the news where there was the center pieces that hold the blades laying on the ground and they said it couldn't be recycled. That's all I know.
Also, remember when Texas got hit by that snowstorm? That's when I saw it on the news, a sort of documentary on the windmills. They were telling how much they cost, the maintenance on them, how they kill birds and then how they weren't as efficient as some people think they are. Then they showed the rotor, I think that's what the center of it was called; and how they weren't reused or recycled.
Thank you. I had not heard about this & will need to find those videos & get researching. I was considering putting one up for personal use with a power bank at some point since we have good wind often.
