More pearl clutching panty wadding nonsense. The plastics industry has been working on recycling processes and several are now in commercial production. They chop up the blades on-site to fit into semi trucks and haul them to the recycling center where 2-3 tons per day can be processed into new usable fiberglass-reinforced thermoplastic pellets and sheets:

And they’ll also do fiberglass from boats, planes and other sources in the waste stream. How much fiberglass waste just got created last week in the hurricane? That happens all the time, turbine blades last 20 years. So in reality the wind industry has provided the motivation for development of fiberglass recycling that will end up keeping not only turbine blades but other waste out of landfills.
American ingenuity.
Actually I was in Casper Wyoming recently where they have a lot of these, and my nephew took me to the dump to recycle some stuff and drove by a big pile of those fiberglass blades that were about to be buried right there so maybe they haven’t got the memo.
