What’s the service-life on a wind turbine blade? Can’t be long enough for something that can’t be recycled.
Looks like good border fencing material to me.
Quick research reveals that a full wind turbine unit is supposed to last ~25 years, with gear boxes and blades needing replacement after ~10 years.
The whole wind farm project is a means of gov’t funding at inflated prices making a few people rich.
I wonder if there’s a way to build the much-needed wall at our southern border using these.
(But only until “wind energy” gets its well-deserved black eye so thoroughly that construction of new wind turbines totally dies off.)

Outstanding idea. Especially since that “breakfast taco el presidente is concerned about Abbott’s buoys in the RIO GRANDE that are keeping the boy from sending his Mexican Nationals and everyone else south of the border north to live in the U.S. and getting them out of his hair.

Oh, the pearl clutching! You should see the tire pits outside Scranton, PA.

They can be recycled. This article is about one town’s frustration that a recycler is delaying for an unknown reason.
In summary, wind energy has tremendous polution.
Truck them to New York and California, as is done with the illegals
You see these massive eyesores all along I 10 in Southern California. They are nothing but monuments to government waste and stupidity.
