The next generation of wind turbine blades could be recycled into gummy bears at the end of their service, scientists have said.

Researchers at Michigan State University have made a composite resin for the blades by combining glass fibres with a plant-derived polymer and a synthetic one. Once the blades have reached the end of their lifespan the materials can be broken down and recycled to make new products including turbine blades – and chewy sweets.

Well I'm no astrophysicist or aerospace engineer, heck I didn't even stay at a Holiday Inn Express, but I can't help thinking that if you made something as big and potentially dangerous as a wind turbine blade out of edible resin it would take long for some sort of critter to start munchin on it and eventually case it to fail...maybe catastrophically.

Naah....they end up like this.

You want to eat bird gut flavored gummy bears? Something will eat it, but it isn't likely something you'd want in your system...

While I'm sure there would be a market for it with the many lunatic Gaia worshippers you wouldn't find me anywhere near them.....except when I was pointing and laughing at them in derision.
