But on Monday, scientists from Michigan State University offered their blueprints of an innovative way to address this issue. They developed a new form of wind turbine material that combines glass fibers with both plant-derived and synthetic polymers, which refer to long chains of molecules. The mixture is called a composite resin, and its hype lies in the fact that it can be recycled a lot more easily than pure fiberglass can.
Oh, and here's the best part: It can also be turned into delicious gummy bears.

For me to love you now, would be the sweetest thing
T'would make me sing
Ah, but I may as well try and catch the wind
“It’s a strange lifeform, Captain. It seems to feed on Glass fibers + synthetic polymers + composite resin.”

Yeah but they're sugar free.
I don’t know. I think they would be far better suited to recycling into Unicorn Farts which would have far more utility.
Hahahahahahahahaha
Bugs and gummy bears. Food of the future.
Gummy bear?
…and they will only cost $162.45 (each) to make.

Federal Judge Rules Federal Oil And Gas Lease Moratorium Exceeded Biden’s Power
HELENA – A federal judge today issued a permanent injunction against President Biden’s so-called “pause” on federal oil and gas leasing and drilling permits in 13 plaintiff states, including Montana, agreeing with Attorney General Austin Knudsen that the policy violated the Mineral Leasing Act (MLA) and Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act (OCSLA). In response to the legal victory, Montana’s Attorney General Austin Knudsen issued the following statement:
“President Biden’s executive order to choke off energy development didn’t just increase prices and hurt American families—it was flatly illegal. This decision is a victory for the rule of law and the workers and the rural communities who depend on the energy industry.”
United States District Judge for the Western District of Louisiana Terry Doughty issued a nationwide preliminary injunction June 2021 against the provisions of President Biden’s Executive Order 14008 that blocked oil and gas leasing operations on federal lands. His permanent injunction today is applicable only in the plaintiff states, which includes Montana. The attorneys general filed the lawsuit in March 2021.
President Biden’s order, the judge wrote, was “beyond the authority of the President of the United States”: “Even the President cannot make significant changes to the OCSLA and/or the MLA that Congress did not delegate.”
An ongoing lease moratorium would have lowered employment by 210 jobs, reduced personal income by $13 million, and cost $4 million in oil and gas taxes in Montana last year, according to a University of Wyoming study published in December 2020. The cumulative effect to the state would be 702 fewer jobs, $170 million reduced personal income, and $199 million in foregone oil and gas tax revenue by 2025.

LOL!
The worship of windmills has turned their brains into a mass of mush.
Nobody could still get rid of ALL the fine slivers of glass fibers that would remain in the “separated” resin. And once consumed, they could penetrate the intestinal walls and cause internal bleeding, or worse, an invasion of intestinal microbiota into the blood stream.
Either one could cause permanent disability or a painful death.
Not a VIABLE MEANS of recycling.

This breezy writing style is infesting more and more articles.
I KNEW IT.
Gummi Bears are ok but why not make Swedish fish? They’re much better than Gummi Bears.
If wind turbine blades can be made into gummy bears it’s only logical that gummy bears can be made into wind turbine blades. ;-)
Rainbows and unicorns. Gummy bears, really? I guess there are some that are so shallow. Yeah, everyone of the global warming idiots.
What other parts will have to be recycled that are DANGEROUS to us...like the lead in the old TVs.
Not sure what tahis says about either products but I don’t want either one.
Gummy Bears with THC and mRNA, I’ll bet.
