Casper Regional Landfill begins burying turbine blades

[Cat401]

The carbon footprint on these eco-friendly power generators are getting larger all the time! Where's the protesters on this?

Are we going to see the same thing in 20 years with millions of old solar panels?

Was that a rhetorical question? Lol.

Maybe we can start dumping them in the ocean like other countries are doing. Saving the planet the feel good greeny way. Out of site out of mind.

Did anyone actually read the article?

"Ninety percent of the turbines are completely reclaimed, recycled, and reused, but there is ten percent that is fiberglass, so those are coming to us from three different farms in the state."

Yes more the 900 blades will be brought to the landfill

"She also mentioned that Casper is the only landfill in the state that has the certification to show that it is environmentally responsible"

That means nothing other than trying to make it look eco friendly, still burying garbage underground.

where else are you supposed to put garbage? I guess we could throw it in the ocean. they look hollow, so you could stuff them full of old tires and diapers to help them sink?

Or car batteries

I'd like to know how long these wind farms have been running?

no lead is worth 60cents a pound. could put the plastic and acid in them though.

Scrapyards will pay good for batteries that's why the crackheads will clean a whole neighbourhood out of RV batteries haha

I hate the environment now thanks to Justin and Greta and the rest of them

So windmills aren't perfect. There is no way that I know of to create electricity with absolutely zero impact on the environment. So 90% of it gets recycled. I'm gonna guess that the impact of burying these blades is less than that of other energy generation methods.
As far as how old they are I just googled it and it says that the lifespan is roughly 20 years typically.

Why not grind them up? Ive seen massive shredders chew threw steel like nothing.

How is burying something environmentally more friendly at that landfill, than another landfill. Bury the windmills on the site that they came from. It would save on trucking and diesel burned.

Dams last 100 years to bad Suzuki has protest there to stop them. Good to know how toxic nuclear is.

The Greenies have already closed their eyes and made their decisions. Funny they say look at the science when talking about climate change but will not look at the science when it comes to upsetting their agenda.

 

[X-it]

So true Teth-Air, but it is nice to see people actually researching the bull sh!t now. We have a child with mental disorder calling the shots at the UN, and drunken suzuki pushing this power agenda when he does not have a clue what he is talking about.. talk about mercury poisoning from that idiot. Hopefully we get back to real experts running things. It is like a plague of stupidity sweeping the world.

That study says that 1kg of solar module = 1kg of nuclear waste.
