The ones near me have a 20 year lifespan.

I hope to live to see the day the leaseholders get stuck with them when the developers and wind companies have long left town.

Well, the story ignores the thousands of TONS of concrete needed for the foundation, And the tons of steel for the tower. But, also ignored are the tons of fuel needed for refining the material, shipping and fabrication, And for construction. The little wind turbines all need MORE CABLES for each turbine =More energy and steel and copper.@

Nope, you can just stand back and let these towers fall down all by themselves:
