Wind blades

One of the miracles of modern chemistry is the construction of windmill blades. It is a special glass/carbon fiber that is indestructible. They last forever but are damaged in use and must be replaced. While various processes to reuse the blades are under study, the used blades are currently buried and they will be there when the rivers wash the mountains to the seas. The push for wind power has moved the production ahead of any recycle plans. Germany is leading in this area. Principal amongst the German green’s concerns is what to do with more than 90,000 turbine blades; each of which weighs up to 15 tonnes; each of which cannot be recycled; each of which has been deemed hazardous waste. Just one more example of how the new green deal has the horse before the cart. Very little thought has been placed into what happens down the road.
