I learned the other day that those blades on the wind turbines only last 2 years and no landfills will take them so there are piles of massive blades just stacked up that they can't do anything with
If landfills wont take them, where are they stacked up? Just curious.

They’ll be used to build “re-education camps” for wrongthinkers

I assume either in a designated location or on the wind farm properties.

Thats just one problem with government. Think of all that money spent on building it this far and now not using it.

wonder why they won't take them, they look like they're fiberglass or some sort of lightweight composite, would make good artificial fishing reefs in the gulf

I think they just take up way too much space. They're carbon fiber, IIRC.

grind those bitches up?

I believe there are some people working on something like that. But there are some pretty serious safety issues with grinding that shite up.

Yep and high end epoxy resin.

I thought the design limits was 20? Either way, that is a lot of stacking for retired blades. They have to go somewhere.

That's some good stuff. Seems crazy they haven't figured a way to recycle them yet.

TC Energy is but the first domino to fall.....the fallout on this is gonna be big.
Berg Pipe had a big contract to build some of that pipeline. They have operations in Panama City and Mobile here in this part of the world. Probably going to see big layoffs there, and of course it will trickle down to their vendors missing out on expected sales which could lead to more layoffs.
Elections have consequences, unfortunately
