The blades are not made of metal, they are fiber glass, which isn’t very recyclable, at least not without breaking down the fibers and destroying the strength of the fiber glass.

Fiberglass is a type of plastic. The glass fibers in fiberglass are not a petroleum product, what about the sizing used to hold the fibers together. The only information that I could find was that the fibers were usually coated with AGY, OCV and PPG. All I got when I looked that up was that they types of plastic. As far as I know most plastics are petroleum based products.

yeah someone pointed that out to me- too bad they can’t be recycled at least- being fiberglass though, i wonder how many blades have exploded under the constant stresses of the windmill? I remember a video showing one breaking apart at speed- here’s a video- short one=-

Herc's a suggestion:

Haul them down to the southern border and bury them in to make a nice 150ft tall barrier.
