Renewable energy. Wind turbine blades become *new* mounds at landfills.

That crap could be ground up and used in New fiberglass products like boats, recycled roof materials, etc. Energy is just a huge scam.
It's the most fraudulent industry after politics. Energy is an invisible product and the production numbers are easily fudged.
Indeed it is and the normies seem to not want to talk about how this scam is costing the country dearly.
I dont believe they are recyclable. No Sauce because I read it long ago but they are made of Polyether Sulfone laminates and carbon fibers which wont remelt.
Why couldn't the material be ground down and used in laminated materials ? I do not believe the reasons not to outweigh the reasons we should.
No they can not they are lamenates with cabon fiber a mix of that and fiberglass and a few other things so no thats why they landfill them.
The reason I say this is because I had a lifetime friend that was famous for making jet boat hulls. We experimented with many materials. I would have no problem producing a boat hull with those blades as a added material once ground up.
Cost effective? Juss curious
Not beneficial but it is a reasonable alternative than the landfill and could produce very tough and resilient materials for wet locations and for storm prone areas.
That does not mean they can't be ground up and added to resins for new products. No reason you couldn't use it and topcoat it for many things.
My understanding is the turbine blades do not bio-degrade.
Maybe in 100,000 years.
Million dollars idea: ship them to Hawaii and drop em in the volcano maybe weight them down with the nuclear crap they're shoving in that Arizona salt mine so it goes deep. If the basic geology they taught in school is close to correct we'll never have any problems out of it. /s
How about sending them to Easter Island and planting them next to those Moari heads so they can go surfing.
They’re made of silicon and carbon so no. It’s like burying a bottle. Just kick some dirt over it to make it disappear.

windmills r weather dependent, unreliable, cover vast area of land, affect wind flow, decimate bats & bird pop, have short life spans (20 yrs max), require massive amts of raw material, create huge amt of waste (800 metric tons of concrete per smaller turbines/rebar foundations, rare earth minerals mostly mined in china, magnets & silicon blades up to 351 ft long (=32 STORIES!)) blades r not recyclable, create very little electricity @ high cost. in US alone 8,000 non recyclable blades a year r being removed, turbine disposal costs are as much as 400,000 a piece. that means $24 billion to dispose of the 60,000 turbines currently in use in the US.
Wyoming has wind year round, and too much of it. We want to affect our wind flow. 20 years is not a short amount of time when they pay themselves off in 3. "800 metric tons of concrete" is what it takes to build five 3000 sqft homes. And it produces an insane amount of power
And they still need petroleum products to operate.
And I dont believe they ever create enough energy to offset the energy used to produce them. They are a net negative.
They do, within 2 years.
The hypocrisy with Green energy is astounding! Massive open pit Lithium mines for batteries……buried wind turbine blades…excessive water use for solar farms....SMH
Go on google maps and look at that actual 160 acre dump. 42.88549264899052, -106.29499697188304 for GPS coordinates.
Now look half a mile to the left of it and see the 600 acre lake of petroleum runoff BP left there - 42.89420222314314, -106.31662630390747
Now look at the largest open pit mine in the world, which is less than 60 miles away - 43.62154443029654, -105.30131864034631
and tell me that the dump for wind turbines is the problem
Maybe they can be used to start coral reefs. But, please NO MORE.
This is Wyoming
I can think of so many uses for those as-is as parts of other things......
Roofs, boarder wall sections, artistic sun shade for parks, grand-stands for hanging of [DS] fags,
Fucking crap the effects don’t work on titles.
SMH...

Got a link to this picture/story? I’d like to investigate it more…..thanks

Has the original image + others taken at different angles. And a link to their sauce(their site appears to be an article mirror), which is https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-02-05/wind-turbine-blades-can-t-be-recycled-so-they-re-piling-up-in-landfills and which was also mentioned by one of the posters above.
Thank you!
42.88549264899052, -106.29499697188304 for GPS coordinates. It is a 160 acre dump
