Graveyard of the green giants: It's the hidden cost of our dash for windpower - thousands of decommissioned blades that are so difficult to recycle, they are just dumped as landfill "By 2050, it's predicted that the world will need to dispose of two million tons of wind turbine blade waste every year. In the UK, the volume already exceeds 100,000 tons per year." "by 2050, up to 78 million tons of solar panels will have reached the end of their life and the world will create another six million tons of photovoltaic waste every year." Oh wow, so green!!?!?!
News flash. Things get old and need to be replaced. You aren't really making any point here. Or, whatever your point is, it applies to everything. When an argument applies to everything, it applies to nothing.
Your shirt is getting raggy. Time to throw it away like everything else. Oh, but OP can't do that because disposing of things is a sin!
What's your solution? You want to go back to living like chimpanzees? They don't make anything, so nothing ever wears out and needs to be thrown away.
The point is that people view wind energy as "clean energy" when in fact the ratio of waste to energy generation is quite high. Of course everything gets old and wears out. The point is the champions of the "Green Energy Movement" scammed the US taxpayer out of a ton of money to create a ton of garbage for only a minimal amount of energy generation that is in fact less efficient than oil and coal. Yet they act like heroes based solely on the image that was sold to you by a kike infested government.
What is the waste exactly? Is it CO2? Sulfur Dioxide? Radio active waste? Is it a damed river? Oh? It's just some fiber epoxy composite that we can just bury and forget? That's what you are going on about? I don't care unless it's ending up in the ocean. And it won't if we bury it. So, that's as clean as energy gets.
not sure what he means by waste, but for windmills you are lucky if you break even energy wise. it takes more energy cradle to grave to make windmills than if that energy was used for electricity in the first place. solar creates 30x more waste per kwh than nuclear. and i only know of one company attempting to recycle them. lots of nasty heavy metals in solar panels.
That sounds like something you read on a retard's blog. Nobody spends $10,000,000 on a windmill just to break even. The people spending their money aren't doing it because the are dirty hippies trying to save the planet. They want an ROI. Windmills wouldn't exist if they just broke even.
As for the heavy metals in solar panels. That's just something you read on a retard's blog. What the retard isn't telling you is that the heavy metals are IN the panel. They aren't leaking out. They aren't going anywhere. That's pretty safe.
Useless things, wind is not as strong or even existent in some areas at night, my area dies as soon as it hits night, have to prop open doors through the day but never at night.
The whole "green" thing is a jewish shekel scam. They even made gas can spouts to leak like a MF'r so that adds 13% lost gas. More shekels in jewish pockets. All jews are foreign enemy combatants.
You mean all those 0% interest loans for "Green Energy Investment" the Obama admin gave to companies that no longer exist and will never pay the money back was just a scam to get feee money from the US taxpayers who are too fucking stupid and gullible to understand they are tax cattle for disgusting, sniveling kikes?
Hahahah I drove by one of these out in the middle of nowhere once. It is fucking hilarious how these hypocritical faggots brush all their trash under the rug and then turn around and blame you for driving a mere six cylinder pickup.
Coal Fired Power Stations Are the Best & Most Economic Option - Wind turbines are a scam that make billion$ for the ones who build and install them - In Australia "they" want to retire the last twenty remaining coal fired power stations, and say Green Energy will push down prices for all consumers and improve reliability.
StopTheseThings.com - Problem is solar panels and wind turbines can't keep up with demand, they want people to live in the dark during "high demand periods," ie when you want electricity the most.
As predicted the anti carbon dioxide push will send us back to pre electricity times, except we will still be paying a fortune for all those expensive, low energy density and unreliable solar panels and batteries to not provide enough electricity.
The chaotic delivery of wind and solar changed all that, Australian power prices have rocketed out of control, its wind and solar power capital South Australia pays the highest electricity prices in the world. Last South Australian Coal Fired Power Station Blown Up.
While mass power cuts aka load shedding and demand management and mass blackouts are the new norm .. yet the lunatics responsible are hell bent on doubling down to deliver the final and fatal blow to Australia’s Eastern Grid, geographically, the largest interconnected power grid on the planet.
Suppose the South Australians took out massive loans from Jewish banks using the whole state as collateral, to build their "renewable energy" infrastructure that in the long term is guaranteed to fail .. then the Jews get it all.
The architect of it all is a dude called Alan Finkel who sounds like a Jew to me, whose policies as well as destroying South Australia's energy grid have made fortunes for the windmill and mirror makers .. wonder if he has shares.
Now that the entire thing has gone belly up the South Australians will have to go back cap in hand to those same Jewish banks and beg for loans to rebuild coal fired power infrastructure, whence the State's entiire GDP will remain in hock to Jews for evermore.
More shame the South Australian political pundits & commenters and those with their finger on the pulse of society in that state, allowed the ruling elite to buy a blind camel in the first place .. just goes to show ya.
How do "blades" get old? Can't they just give them a fresh coat of paint?
As long as new wind turbines are created, they should have a use. Legislate them like cell phone chargers. Stop letting manufacturers change the specs every 3 months to force everyone to buy new shit and junk the old shit.
This is a product of manufacturers getting subsidies from government and having unnatural incentives, its not really an indication that "solar is bad"
In 10 years or so, the leading edge of the blades deteriorate and look as if they have been sand blasted. Some companies are shredding old blades and burning them for electricity.
Only dumb faggots believe that free energy is worse than energy you have to pay money to dig up out of the ground, transport, light on fire to boil water and spin turbines.
Oil, gas and coal moguls are absolutely livid at the fact you can run a few wires in to a charger/inverter and set up your own solar/wind without paying them a fucking dime EVER AGAIN.
It enrages them to know that land-owners can install wind-generators and make a profit basically for free after initial setup. The only thing they can attack is "hurr durr you can't recycle those windblades and solar panels buddy"
They never mention the cost of waste from their oil/gas/coal, how nasty it is to breathe, how much money it makes for the corporations who have deployed every criminal trick in the book to monopolize the industry. Countless wars, death, famine, waste and pollution from these assholes and they want to bitch about windblades in landfills.

Wind Industry Armageddon: South Australian Blackouts Lead Australia’s Chief Scientist to Demand Immediate Cap on Wind Power - Nowhere has there been mismanagement more than in South Australia - Australians once enjoyed affordable power, reliably delivered.
