LOLThis makes me sick....
580 wind mills are being decommissioned after just 5 years of use due to high maintenance costs, bankruptcy......Enviro wackoism and the cost of not recycling these monsters is huge...
The Photo is discarded blades and towers from wind turbines, about to be buried at the city landfill in Casper, Wyoming taken on 7/28/2019.
"..Cynthia Langston, solid waste division manager for the city of Casper, declined to say where the turbine debris came from. But she’s happy to have it. The 1,000 blades will bring in about $675,000 for the landfill, helping keep trash costs low for local residents. Plus, Langston said, wind-farm junk is Less toxic than other garbage.
“It’s much Cleaner than the Contaminated soil and demolition projects from the Oil and gas industry,” Langston said in an interview. “These are about as Non-toxic as you can get.”
Wind turbine blades represent a “vanishingly small fraction” of overall waste in the U.S., according to the American Wind Energy Association.
Sachin Shah, chief executive officer of one of the world’s largest clean-power operators, Brookfield Renewable Partners LP, said “there will be an aggressive effort to re-use materials” in the years ahead.".."
