Tasmania declares itself 100 per cent powered by renewable electricity
Not to rain on the parade, but, I just found out a few weeks ago that wind turbine blades are toxic trash when they age out. We just bury them, apparently they're mostly resin and glass fiber and last a billion (or whatever) years leaching in to the ground.I'm interested why this is a problem. Can't we make the blades out of various exotic metals like wings of the last aircraft generation are? Before the carbon 787 etc? Then we could just recycle them? Or is there a lightning strike issue or something I don't understand?
