Ever try to destroy a fiber glass boat?
Sure, you can burn them but you end up with a big pile of glass fiber crap. I don’t think it ever goes away. Furthermore, the resins are nothing but petroleum products that burn with a big pall of black smoke.
Oh boy, they really saved the environment didn’t they?
Wonder how many thousands of gallons of diesel fuel will be used by the disassembly crane, tractor trailer for transport, excavators, dump trucks, bulldozers, spreaders and other heavy equipment will be used to bury these blades?
I saw a photo the other day of a wind turbine blade being sprayed with deicing fluid from a helicopter.
Sustainable. Hah
The turbine blades need to be sawn into convenient lengths to shove up the backsides of the politicians who gave the sweetheart deals to make it all possible.
Turn them into wall sections.
Bury them in San Franfeces.
Not to mention the tens-of-millions of eagles, hawks, condors and innumerable varieties of other birds who got sliced and diced.
I just got back from a trip to South Dakota and saw dozens of turbine blades being transported on semis (just one each, they’re so huge), and the semi requires an escort vehicle due to the long load.
Now that’s a lot of fossil fuel usage!
More than 900 blades will be brought to the landfill beginning now until the end of next spring.

I wonder how many birds were killed by those rotating blades?
I think wind energy can be “part” of a solution. When we were in Ireland we noticed large concentrations of turbines in sparsely populated areas. I researched it after we got home and found out that 23% of Ireland’s energy came from wind.
Get rid of all the bloody things...on a democrat’s lawn.
I had to stop for a trainload of those blades coming from Vestas in Windsor CO a few days ago.
Maintenance and wear on these windmills must sure put a dent in the cost-return factor.
My Honda will be 20 years old come next month.
I’m keeping it another 20 if at all possible.
You lefties can do your betalectric shenanigans all you want, but you will have to pry my dead hands from the steering wheel of my beautiful burner of brachiosaurus extravagance.
Burn the windmill blades while generating electricity from the steam.
Create one coal like plant, with big fat smoke stacks and burn away windmills.
