Wind power is great in a lot of ways, but I'm sorry...you're just utterly wrong. https://www.thegazette.com/sub... Blade (and other resulting) waste is DEFINITELY a problem that was just kicked down the road as there was no plan in place for it. This happens a lot when people lead with their feelings. Your comparison to disposable diapers (DESIGNED to be disposed) and ANY wind turbine waste ( designed to be more or less indestructible) is ridiculous. To break down just the blades into something recyclable requires crushing equipment something along the line of that designed for mining. It's not a trivial process. ALL solutions create problems of their own. The only difference between one solution and another would be the types of problems they create. Simply denying the problems exist cause "diapers" is not a solution. It's just denial. Since when is denial informative? Not to mention the health problems created by living in proximity to wind turbines which the courts are already siding with the plaintiff on. https://www.desmoinesregister.... And we certainly know that millions of birds are killed every year because of these turbines without any discrimination between endangered and other species. Do we even know if these wind farms are on any major avian migratory routes? Your apparent solution of denial 'cause WIND POWER seems just a bit childish to me.
