Plus the blades have a shelf life. They get retired to a blade junk yard. Not sure if they r fiberglass of what material.
I saw a program once where they said they are made of so many composite materials, they are practically impossible to recycle.
they try and "repurpose" them (bike shelters and such) but I can't imagine that is too common.
I live by a plant that made (they're closed now and moved to China) these blades and I know people who worked their and they told me that amount of toxic shit they used to make them was mind boggling. The disposal of the toxic sludge costs MORE than than blades and that's why they moved to China! There are no rules in China and they will just bury that shit in a school yard and call it a day, oh and there is ZERO recycle-ability of the blades, they just cut them up and bury them.
I bet lots of solvents/VOCs. All to atmosphere. (No containment or scrubber). There is no honest cost benefit to the planet just money grubbing whores like the pharma whores and the military complex whores.
It makes sense if you live in 1940's soviet russia
