This is the USS Gerald R. Ford. It's displacement is 112,000 tons. The waste from the wind industry will be roughly equivalent to the mass of 420 Ford class aircraft carriers evey year.
WTF are they thinking? The same power generation capacity from nuclear power would be somewhere between 1/100,000 abd 1/1,000,000 of the amount of waste annially compared to wind power.
10% for the Big Guy and friends. Behind every bureaucratic process and policy that results in the question "WTF are they thinking?", the answer is the are thinking about greed and wealth. And any incremental increase in power for the central authority.
In the near future, the outcry over these wastes will increase resulting in a demand for funding and fees to deal with that waste, then resulting in research funds to determine the proper disposal followed by gubmit contracts with some savvy fellow who just so happened to have a solution and a company setup to implement the solution, with investors / board members with last names like Biden, Pelosi, Cornyn, McCarthy, McConnel, etc.
