How wind turbines are recycled

The irony of a wind turbine blade being burnt for energy

[bnghjtyu]

This video creates more questions than it gives answers.

[the_chomper]

burning fiberglass resin... ya totally not environmentally friendly

[jimp]

Wow, look at how much ENERGY it takes!

[aBusybee]

Uh, why are they handling shredded fiberglass with their barehands? I be wearing gloves and a n95 mask around that stuff.

[AZsmoothrider]

Yup because burning fiberglass is great! BTW most of us consider recycling to mean remaking into another product.

[MrJonnyk]

That raises so many further questions.

[alexandreblais]

instead of ending up in landfills they end up in the air we breathe. so much better

It's amazing that a lack of understanding of how clean nuclear energy is, leads people to think that this is actually renewable energy....

[CatMomForever]

Solving problems created by “solutions” to other problems. It just never ends.

[nistaffsubs]

Clean energy Wind turbines : Dirty energy ...

[aarobbins]

That's a whole lot of heavy equipment running on unicorn farts.

[almahnak]

Ah yes, stopping it from being put in the ground and putting it in the air instead

[daveytn]

Burning glass fibre, yeah that's clean!!!

[flimflam]

OMG That was the best laugh I had in a long time, man that was great

[archany]

Stops the blades from getting into landfills but think about the carbon footprint used to collect, transport, shred, grind then transport them again.

It probably increases the cement industries carbon footprint.

[breadm]

Nuclear power will always beat these other forms of energy that is extremely inefficient and takes many resources to make

[cheapers]

I'm actually surprised how many turbine blades are being scraped already 😮

[blipblip]

Time flies..didn't think we've had wind turbines long enough that the blades are wearing out already!

[udhi_gn]

Renewable energy... I see what you did there!
