This is what happens to old USA wind farm blades??

Hundreds of fiberglass wind turbine blades pile up in landfills

The municipal landfill in Casper, Wyoming, is the repository of at least 870 discarded blades, and one of the few locations in the country that accepts the massive fiberglass objects.

Greta will not be happy, but you won't be able to tell by her expression.

Well it's in the daily email so you've gotta believe it.

Well it's in the daily email do you've gotta believe it.

No, I’ve seen this reported in quite a few scientific publications, I’ll try to dig the report that came out in ‘Nature’ last year. The blades are not recyclable.

Let's put the focus on the blades which are 10% of the unit and forget the other 90% which is recyclable. Typical Daily Fail.

The daily fail is the price of one coffee away from going under. So go out and buy that coffee

Have you watched ‘Planet of the Humans’ yet? A few inaccuracies but totally accurate when it looks into how these turbines are made. Especially the wee bit which looks at African child labour toiling away for the West’s precious metals.

Bit of a contradiction their. You said a few inaccuracies but totally accurate on child exploitation. How are we to believe that'strue for all of the film. There you go focussing on the precious metals for wind turbines. If you feel so strongly about child labour being exploited why not have a go on those mobile phone manufacturers who get previous metals for their phones in the DRC amongst other previous metals. What about diamond mining in Sierra Leone.

Wouldn’t expect all that concrete to very recyclable.

First ”R” is Reduce, if nothing else, the film makes this point very clear.

All media has a bias, you just don’t notice the media that has the same bias as you.

While the effects of burying the blades may not be felt immediately, there could be a larger impact on the state both environmentally and economically.

Seems the good folks of Wyoming are indeed burying 100's of blades in landfill.

Seems a shame to use a product that could last 100 years and uses up an Immense amount of energy to be created as a filler.

I don't dispute it but why focus on an item which is 10% recyclable and not on the rest which is 90% recyclable

Gee, look at all these ‘greens’ coming out against Mr Moore! How dare he leave his lane! Renewables are a farce, this whole ‘net zero’ is a farce and will do nothing but bankrupt the country and drive up energy bills. Let’s not argue. Let’s just give it ten years of these policies and we’ll see who’s right. Seems only fair if you ask me. The climate loons keep telling us we have only ten, twelve, 14 years to save the planet so I’ll play their game and state that within 10 years these policies will f**k us economically. Fair enough?

Why do you have to be a green to believe in renewable energy. I bet a lot of your leckie is from renewable resources. Are you going to **** that off

Most electricity is still generated from fossil fuels. On those rare days when the sun doth shine and the wind doth blow you still have to have fossil fuel powered generators ‘spooled’ up for when it stops. At night your solar is useless and on days when the wind doesn’t blow your turbines are useless. I’d love to see how the U.K. would function on renewables alone during a hard winter. “But my batteries!”, I hear you cry. Perhaps, when battery technology is worth a damn. I personally would rather fields weren’t covered in sodding solar panels. I would rather England’s pastures green weren’t blighted by being covered in bird and bat killing monstrositys. If you want green technology than nuclear is the way forward. Certainly if you honestly believe a trace gas that makes up 0.041% of the atmosphere controls the climate and not the big scary ball of fire in the sky that is.

Just my opinion. But as I said. I’ll make a note to revisit this in 10 years time and we’ll see how things turn out. Probably find that Greta will be head of the UN by then.

You don't have to be a green to believe in renewable energy, however, you need to be a green to believe the hype, one fact there is no carbon neutral fuel.

Go and find a leckie company which just uses carbon fuels. Then you'll be happy.

I’d like to see fossil fuels phased out, funnily enough. I’d like to see us embracing nuclear energy. Check out The TEDx talk given by Michael Shellenberger. Quite informative.
