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

Time to rethink how to build the blades then and what components to use.

Corporations will never do the right thing the first time other than making profits and the nuclear genie is too big to contain. Just use Fukushima as an example or any other nuclear power plant.

Maybe! Something on those lines.

Do you mind if we store the nuclear waste in your yard?

Also the fact that these oil companies have almost a half million in various boats a day just in my area. Blasting the ocean floor with some of the stongest sonar. Scaring away most and most likely killing what is to small to escape. Stocks of sea life could plummet or decide to just not return to the area.
What else could they be looking for on the sea floor. Maybe oil. Does anyone here trust the oil companies? No one is regulating or watching them. They have been breaking rules by towing the sonar at night and in state waters as it is. So we know they don't follow simple rules. They even have let them skirt some laws. Foreign boats aren't supposed to be doing what they are with out some sort of inspection of equipment. Ill get back to glp on that. I know of the person who wrote the article on it.

Not sure if this would chew up birds.

Yeah, it's great when a major river gets dammed so many times that it stops reaching the ocean. Also great when a new dam (like that one in China) floods an entire valley and ecosystem. I'm sure no animals were hurt in the process.

To the OP: true story, it's cheaper to install a new wind turbine than fix an existing broken one, so that's what happens. Broken turbines stay there and new ones get built to replace them.

Maybe they could be used as "slats" in the border wall!!!!

Your right on that. If hurricane comes through they could be wiped out. Trash on the seafloor. Money down the drain. No power for you.

you need to read up on it, before making uninformed statements! "Fukiingshame" was a 1950's design... Totally outdated!!

Smart use of technology!

Ok which company or design is completely passive and knows how to handle nuclear waste? How do you know I am not informed? I have been studying nuclear and breeder reactors for 30 years on and off. Show me a passive design I can pull the plug on and not melt down or spew nuclear waste including the spent fuel onsite that would make money.

I worked on an engineering project 35 years ago that generated RD-Fuel... Smart Japanese!!

They slaughther birds.

It is the very tips that the birds cannot see. I'm pretty sure some 'ribbons on the tips' would solve that without taking away any of the performance. First the 'Who gives as shit attitude?' has to be removed.

No need to, I will just re-use it in my homemade breeder reactor!

typical liberal!! just keep spewing out more talking point's instead of considering evidence based science!!

Let's all pretend like our potential is limited and there isn't a way to recycle this stuff.

Geez lmfao all you do is powderize the shit & mix it with an epoxy. Is everyone numb?

We can use all forms of energy generation, if placed in the right situation: Wind, Solar, Nuclear, Clean Gas, etc...

Use the trench just east of Japan, it is so fucking deep nothing will ever escape from there. It is also going to keep getting deeper so all sorts of contaminated could be buried there.

Did you know David Hahn?

Plutonium is all natural. It came from the earth and to earth it returns. Just like organic beings.

Would we know the difference from anything escaping from the trench and from Fukushima spewing for the next couple of hundred to thousand years?

Maybe when you build your power infrastructure with your sweat and tears it should stay in the public sector. Making enough to maintain and expand.

Instead you drink the cool aid when the politicians want to privatise these community build resources. Like your schools, roads, hospitals, etc.

But It’s always better in the private sector, right. More innovative and any other term the can use as propaganda to rob you.

Problem with people is they just want to be big kids and not become educated, grow up and be a part of the system.

Yeah, but organic beings aren't dangerous for years after they are put back in the earth.

Well, unless they are zombies...

Plutonium is not generally found in nature. It is the by product of nuclear fission.

Ho yes op. Fossil fuels are killing us and destroying the environment and renewables are a myth.

Using hundreds of years old designs when there are actually very good designs for windmills (Hush turbines for example which was bought then shelved). But the 3 bladed monstrosities are simply stupid. No 'out of the box' thinking went into these things.

J Mcanney has a decent but more local design. The hush turbine was bought by transworld international. I know I tried to get the manufacturing rights for the PNW and Turkey (long story). [link to peswiki.com (secure)] But Arthur was duped into selling his patent. There it sits idle.

Once all the shelved things come out...people will be easily energy independent. But who wants that right? Meh...
