>Actually, I can’t imagine what it would do. It may not sink, though.
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.
My thanks to you and Grok.
I can imagine some gigantic government boondoggle, piercing these blades and filling critical air pockets with concrete before disposal at sea as a ‘reef’.
Then, some hurricane hits and the beaches look like they’re covered in dead whales as these leviathans wash up on shore.
The “unintended” consequences of idiocy.
