Someone please tell me what one does with the turbine blades after their useful life span. My understanding is that they cannot be recycled or reused, they can only bury them in large pits where they will stay for thousands of years, but hey, it’s “clean energy”, right?

It’s about how you feel, not actual facts.

Recycling the blades is a work in progress. As of today used blades are still taking up plenty of landfill space.

Aren’t they fiberglass? China will burn them or drop them in the ocean.

Just dump them in the ocean.

Why no concern for what these do to change the climate? Pulling all that energy out of wind patterns has to do something to the climate.
