Wind Turbine blades have inner Balsa wood cores and that is leading to clearcutting the Amazon Rainforest.

You can't make this stuff up!

happens in my area all the time - some company buys up 50 acres of uncut forest, cuts down all the trees, strips away most of the topsoil and undergrowth, fences it in so no wildlife bigger than a rabbit can get in - and puts up solar panels ‘to save the environment’

They can’t use foam instead of balsa wood?

I passed one of those blades being transported last week (Ohio I-71 northbound) and was amazed how HUGE they are.
