Turbine Mass Death

Its now becoming clear that as thousands of wind turbines reach 'end of life', they are not economically viable.

Decommissioning costs end up incredibly expensive - 160,000 - 305,000 EU per wind turbine - (Blackout News De) which is why their broken metal limbs and blades are lying around rusting.  We've seen images in USA and Europe of piles of turbine blades laying waste, even going to landfill.

There is still no 'industrial solution', no process for recycling rotor blades made of GRP and CFRP.  German data on replaced rotor blades is not available.  Wind turbine scrap, held in temporary storage, will become a bigger problem in future decades.  Between 326,000 and 430,000 tons of waste from glass fibre reinforced plastics (GRP) from rotor blades will be generated by 2040. PLUS 835,000 tons of steel and 5.5 million tons of concrete.

American President Trump has highlighted this issue over the years and even recently.

Now Australia has a problem: asbestos has been found in the blades. Made in china. Now there will be uproar that recycling is impossible, and could severely damage the wind turbine industry.

At Australia's $4 billion Golden Plains wind farm, testing on turbines has come back positive. Units are now quarantined and the manufacturer is launching global checks across its supply chain. This follows the asbestos found at a number of Chinese turbine manufacturers.

From Electroverse on X but has been refuted as not so serious.

While politicians in Berlin raise their moral index finger and preach austerity and sacrifice to the population, the toxic waste of their “sustainable” energy transition is being illegally dumped on Czech soil. Non-recyclable rotor blades from German wind turbines – weighing tons, highly toxic to the environment and groundwater – are secretly disposed of instead of being properly recycled. Packaged as progress, delivered as hazardous waste!
