As has been done with fiberglass boats for ages...take them to the desert and burn them in a huge party.

I cut up a couple of old fiberglass boats and burned the peices in sections. then took the remaining glass weave to the landfill.

You speak in jest, I have met people who actualy believe such things. I have met people who actually earn a living by working and yet could not understand why it does not make sense to simply put a fifth wheel on a car to drive an electric generator to charge batteries and get “free” energy.

They’re fiberglass. I guess you could remold them into old 70s & 80s Vettes or something.

Wind Turbine expected lifetime = 20 Years

Wind Turbine cost breakeven point = 21 Years

What is it we're saving here?

Note: the "cost breakeven point" DOES NOT INCLUDE DISPOSAL COST.
