Wind turbines generate mountains of waste

“Turbine disposal costs are upwards of $400,000 apiece.”
– Duggan Flanakin

Almost half a million dollars! Per blade!

“A week ago, my CFACT colleague Duggan Flanakin wrote about the mountains of waste that solar panels will be generating in the coming years.”

“This week, he tackles the equally eye-popping topic of wind turbine waste,” says Paul Driessen. “As he notes, with some 8,000 blades a year already being removed from service just in the United States, that is 32,000 truckloads over the next four years – most of them destined for landfills. And in a few more years, the numbers could be five times higher. Over the next 20 years, the U.S. could have to dispose of 720,000 tons of waste blade material, even though its landfill capacity is predicted to drop 15% by 2021. Our already serious waste disposal problems are about to become monumentally worse, thanks to clean, green energy.”
