Officials in Sweetwater say an out-of-state company has made their town a dump for the seldom-seen trash created by renewable energy.

I’ve driven thru Sweetwater. These stacks of unrecycleable blades is not what you’ll notice at first. The entire area looks like a giant pinwheel farm. It’s like this near the Caprock as well.
Robert L. Peters has generously given us millions of new illegal aliens who need housing. These blades can be repurposed for that, as long as Uncle Sugar gives out tax incentives to do so. They are better by far than tents and cardboard boxes.
Fiberglass... there’s not much of a recycle option for those things, unless they re-use the good ones on replacement windmills. Bu there’s no profit in that, for the manufacturer.
Ship them to LA and NY City.
We should demand that the used blades be recycled. Short of that, let’s dump them offshore to create artificial reefs and aquatic habitat.
Off Cape Cod would be the preferred location.

The beauty of clean, green, renewable energy.
Can you imagine if a tornado hits that place? Should chop / chip them up and use the chips as concrete aggregate.
That’s my thought. That, and the front yard of a certain Delaware mansion...
“Green” waste products.
Wonder if EPA classified it as toxic waste site....lol
Thanks for that detail. I was wondering what would make a turbine blade "old". It's all part of the green scam where the "green" is the money laundering.
A similar disposal of the wind turbine blades is filling landfills in South Dakota.
But at least they have sweet water.
Maybe they can make tepees out of them housing id getting tight now days.
And the blades need not be “timed out” at manufactures recommended replacement date, but replaced to restart the free government money. Blades may have been serviceable and may have lasted a few more years but the hand me outs had stopped. Can’t have that.
If wind energy was a viable option it would not need government subsidies. The free market would make it sustainable.
Seems like the could be cut into large sections and glued together to make a really long hamster tube.................
I think they should just build a series of new towers all along the southern border and have the blades spinning to ground level. They wanna live in the land of the big PX, let them run the gauntlet.
For ranchers and farmers that host wind farms I have heard that the only more lucrative source of passive income is ... oil wells. Fortunate is the rancher/farmer that has both.
