I think they're in the process of breaking down the fiberglass and such of the windmill blades so they can be recycled. But it's still a way off to making the process feasible. Plus, I really doubt the feasibility of windmill use anyway. They don't produce much power and have too many moving parts to break down.


Solar, though, I think will work -- at least in the south. But only as long as we do it at the individual level and not at the government level where they force utilities to use solar even when it's not going to work -- all while everybody focuses on the red tape of the regulations and not on maximizing efficiency. If you do it yourself you're more liable to customize the system for your specific needs and get nice throughput -- without making the government cronies rich on the façade of helping us out but not really.

Add “recycling thermoset plastics” to the imagined-but-not-yet-invented list of green policies.

If you live in Arizona or Florida and you want to buy solar panels so you can lower your annual costs that you pay your utilities, then go for it. For 80% of Americans, it wouldn’t make sense. We simply live too far up north or we live in apartment buildings where it would not make sense to use solar power.

In WA state, we are going to be using wind by 2035, but they built the towers and turbines in 2005 to the present. So the turbines in the ground now, will need replacing in 2035 just when we will need them most.

Liberalism/Progressivism ISN’T a mental disorder, it is EVIL personified.
