"GREEN ENERGY" MYTH BUSTED - 50,000 tons of used wind turbine blades in the landfill
[link to srsroccoreport.com (secure)]

Funny, no one seemed to consider what to do with the massive amount of wind turbine blades once they reached the end of their lifespan. Thus, the irony of the present-day Green Energy Movement is the dumping of thousands of tons of “non-recyclable” supposedly renewable wind turbine blades in the country’s landfills.

Who would have thought? What’s even worse, is that the amount of wind turbine blades slated for waste disposal is forecasted to quadruple over the next fifteen years as a great deal more blades reach their 15-20 year lifespan. Furthermore, the size and length of the newly installed wind turbine blades are now twice as large as they were 20-30 years ago.



-----------------------------------------

Due to the interest in related topics, adding a few extras now.

Abiotic oil and why oil is the blood of the Earth, not a fossil remnant at all:

Re: "GREEN ENERGY" MYTH BUSTED - 50,000 tons of used wind turbine blades in the landfill
from link:

The wind turbine blades are a toxic amalgam of unique composites, fiberglass, epoxy, polyvinyl chloride foam, polyethylene terephthalate foam, balsa wood, and polyurethane coatings. So, basically, there is just too much plastic-composite-epoxy crapola that isn’t worth recycling. Again, even though there are a few small recycling centers for wind turbine blades, it isn’t economical to do on a large scale.

great pics and graphics at link!


maybe we can build a federal pen for treasonists out of them.....

I put of a wind generator about 21 years ago, and then I installed solar...fuck climbing the gen-pole and I'll be damned if I lower and raise that thing 70' in the air again...solar is money better spent...when we sold the property it was still pumping out the power though!

Germany’s wind and solar experiment have failed: the so-called ‘Energiewende’ (energy transition) has turned into an insanely costly debacle.

German power prices have rocketed; blackouts and load shedding are the norm; and idyllic rural communities are now industrial wastelands (see picture).

Hundreds of billions of euros have been squandered on subsidies to wind and solar, all in an effort to reduce carbon dioxide gas emissions. However, that objective has failed too: CO2 emissions continue to rise.

But you wouldn’t know it from what appears in the mainstream media. Its reticence to report on what’s actually going on in Germany probably stems from the adage about success having many fathers, and failure being an orphan. Having promoted Germany as the example of how we could all ‘transition’ to an all RE future, it’s pretty hard for them to suck it up and acknowledge that they were taken for fools.

there are many.

top among the renewables is oil - learn about the abiotic genesis of oil

it is far more "renewable" than the wind!

Damage to the environment is undeniable.
They don't last long enough to pay for themselves.
