Geez man surely that ain't a subtitle D landfill they are putting this blades in?!?! You also can't tell me that burning fiberglass instead of coal is better as far as emissions go. It's all utter BS.

It makes me laugh, that it was in the very first sentence he says it was 'unexpected'.

Not unexpected...ignored.

And now, they literally just bury the problem to hide the inconvenient truth.

It makes me bitter because the west Texas landscape is ruined because of turbines. It looks like a bunch of wires connecting ceiling fans across that part of the State. And there are giant pieces of land with nothing but broken parts cluttering the area.

I'm somewhat surprised nobody has come up with a blade that can be recycled. What is it about them that makes such materials a challenge?

Some company is grinding them up and making them into something else. I saw the story a few months back. I can't remember what the recycled product is though.

Fiberglass dust is the same as asbestos dust. Particles same size and same effect on lungs. Must be $ome reason nobody is raising flags about this hazard.

If they would just give me a lot of this material, I could build a house out of it that could withstand hurricane force winds here in coastal Bama.

Ok,
How does a blade wear out? Do they get warped? Bird strikes?

It's in the video. It's fuel that's burned at concrete plants. The recycled ones are burned

Then there is the statement about how solar panels last 25-30 years are 90% efficient yet he shows him a huge stack and says these are 3-4 years old.

I think they are burning solar panel waste at concrete plants, not the turbines. It seems like it would produce some seriously toxic fumes

The usual claim is ground and mixed into new roads. Multiple other waste items get this claim for possible final destination. But they all seem to be lies.

They wear out, the leading edge starts chipping,I think, which then affects efficiency and how low of a wind speed they can run.

Imagine those things getting out of balance through uneven wear. They'd ruin bearings real quick and possibly self destruct.

It might have been this company...

Can't find anything new about them. Might just be another government money grab.

That's not a lithium mine, that's actually the Escondido copper mine in Chile

So maybe the wireless stuff is helping with that
