Sure, the millions of wind turbine blades headed for landfill will leave a toxic legacy for centuries to come, but these things create an even more immediate threat. Their 40-90m blades naturally erode during operation, spreading tonnes of microplastics far and wide. The epoxy compounds they shed contain toxins that are finding their way into … Continue reading ‘Clean’ Energy Scourge: Wind Turbine Blades Shedding Tonnes of Toxic Microplastics

New Sustainability Standard: Wind Industry Illegally Dumping Thousands of Turbine Blades
As hundreds of thousands of toxic wind turbine blades head for landfills near you, thousands more are being dumped illegally. Across the USA, wind power outfits are being repeatedly busted for dumping their blades and simply cutting and running. Last August, we reported on one blade ‘recycling’ company busted for illegally storing hundreds of wind turbine … Continue reading New Sustainability Standard: Wind Industry Illegally Dumping Thousands of Turbine Blades
Toxic Blade Time Bomb: New Study Exposes Scale of Wind Industry’s Poisonous Plastics Legacy
Landfills are the final destination for millions of worn-out wind turbine blades, where their toxic plastics will be left to rot for the ‘benefit’ of generations to come. These 10-20 tonne, 40-60m long chunks of plastic, fibreglass, balsa wood and resins can’t be recycled, so the wind industry has been dumping them quietly for years … Continue reading Toxic Blade Time Bomb: New Study Exposes Scale of Wind Industry’s Poisonous Plastics Legacy
Planet Sized Problem: Millions More Wind Turbine Blades Destined for Landfills Near You
Mike Moore’s Planet of the Humans exposed the mountains of toxic filth generated by so-called ‘green’ energy, much to the horror of renewable energy rent-seekers and climate cult zealots, alike. Solar panels are a veritable toxic cocktail of gallium arsenide, tellurium, silver, crystalline silicon, lead, cadmium, and heavy earth material. Then there’s the landfill legacy being created … Continue reading Planet Sized Problem: Millions More Wind Turbine Blades Destined for Landfills Near You
Busted: Government Fines Another Wind Turbine Blade ‘Recycler’ For Illegal Dumping
Dumping 45-60m long, 10-20 tonne turbine blades in landfills is a costly ‘solution’ that many wind power outfits seem keen to avoid. Back in August, we reported on one blade ‘recycling’ company busted for illegally storing hundreds of wind turbine blades at three sites in Iowa. Global Fiberglass Solutions Inc had accumulated some 1,300 blades … Continue reading Busted: Government Fines Another Wind Turbine Blade ‘Recycler’ For Illegal Dumping
Renewable Energy Rubbish: Who Pays to Clean Up ‘Green’ Energy’s Colossal Mess?
Wind turbines and solar panels produce rubbish energy and, after a decade or so, they’re simply rubbish. Where wind and solar lack constancy in their ability to produce power as and when we need it, they make up for it in their ability to produce a constant stream of toxic waste. Here’s one from the … Continue reading Renewable Energy Rubbish: Who Pays to Clean Up ‘Green’ Energy’s Colossal Mess?
Unwanted Waste: Company Busted For Illegally Dumping Hundreds of Giant Wind Turbine Blades
Millions of industrial wind turbine blades are heading for landfill to become a toxic headache for future generations, all in the name of purportedly “saving the planet”. While dumping 45-60m long blades weighing between 10 and 20 tonnes in giant pits might seem like an easy solution, it’s a costly one that plenty of wind … Continue reading Unwanted Waste: Company Busted For Illegally Dumping Hundreds of Giant Wind Turbine Blades
Why Everything You’ve Heard About Solar Is Wrong: What the Media Don’t Want You to Know
The mainstream press would have you believe that we’re already being exclusively powered by wind and solar, and that neither of them have any downside, at all. Michael Shellenberger knows otherwise. Michael, with his properly reasoned support for nuclear power, draws plenty of heat from the pro-unreliables hacks in the MSM for his equally reasoned … Continue reading Why Everything You’ve Heard About Solar Is Wrong: What the Media Don’t Want You to Know
Spreading Scourge: Wind Turbine Blades Shedding Toxic Plastics During Operation
There’s a landfill legacy being created by wind turbine blades, with the First World cynically using the Third World as its dumping ground: ‘Green’ Energy’s Poisonous Legacy: Millions of Toxic Turbine Blades Destined for African Landfills Thousands of 45-70m blades (weighing between 10 to 25 tonnes) are being ground up and mixed with concrete used in the bases … Continue reading Spreading Scourge: Wind Turbine Blades Shedding Toxic Plastics During Operation
Demolition Squad: What Happens to Worn Out Wind Turbines? They Get Blown to Bits
With an economic lifespan of around 15 years, thousands of these things are already on life support and hundreds are already terminal. When their palliative care reaches the end-of-life phase, it’s time to call in the demolition squad to do their darndest. The video below of 90 Mitsubishi turbines being dropped to earth with tons … Continue reading Demolition Squad: What Happens to Worn Out Wind Turbines? They Get Blown to Bits
