Actually, I can’t imagine what it would do. It may not sink, though.

I have always been amazed that glass bottles are not viewed as the ultimate environmentally friendly container. At the bottom of the ocean, I would imagine that glass returns quickly into the sand from which it came.

Grok’s conclusion:
Yes, a 30-ton windmill blade made primarily of fiberglass and composite materials is likely buoyant in seawater. Its overall density, thanks to lightweight cores and potential air pockets, is typically less than 1,025 kg/m³. While exact buoyancy depends on the specific design and volume, the use of low-density composites suggests these blades would float rather than sink.
