Morons. They prove their ignorance. A Bison is bovine. ANY BOVINE does exactly the same dang thing. You could say any ungulate and still be right, though it depends upon the terrain.

But in a word, COWS.

DUH.

Yep. Cows fill the niche on the prairie Bison did. Duh.

It's downright painful to watch the stupid ooze out of the Klimate Kult.

Carbon River Company  out of TN has been recycling wind turbine blades for quite some time now. There are other co's in the US recycling them and others all around the world, I presume it is profitable or else they would not be doing it.

Here is how carbon River recyclers them-go to their web page

Glass to Glass Reclamation Technology
Glass Fiber Reclamation

Wind turbine blades are made from non-recyclable polymers strengthened by glass fibers. As a result, these structures are unfortunately relegated to landfills following retirement. This presents a major obstacle for wind energy to be truly sustainable. Our technology offers an attractive, facile method for responsibly re-using these materials at what normally would be their end of life. Glass to Glass can give these materials a chance to be reborn into sustainable, recyclable composites.

Receive Blade Waste (Tipping)

Receive bulk waste fiberglass composite (e.g. retired wind turbine blades, boat hulls, automotive panels)

Pre-Sort and Shred Material

Cutting and shredding for further reduction of blades to produce optimal pyrolysis feedstock.

Multi-Stage Pyrolysis

Multi-stage pyrolysis process to fully remove polymer, char, and other fillers from the glass fibers to restore fiber properties to virgin-like values.

Production of Composite Intermediates

Convert reclaimed glass fiber into desired polymer composites intermediates. Then the rGF pellets or intermediates are used to produce next-generation products again.

ESG Pyrolysis Crude Oil

Our pyrolysis oil can be utilized as an alternative fuel source or precursor for next generation polymers, providing the oil and chemical industry a more sustainable and circular option



 As for bird deaths: They are also using acoustics, radar etc

Scientists have found that painting one blade of a turbine black, which can increase visibility, can reduce bird fatalities by more than 70 percent. And some wind companies are experimenting with using artificial intelligence to sense a bird's approach, powering turbines down to avoid collisions.

As for renewable land use. 

2000 acres are lost every day mostly to housing developments and industry and roads. The amount going to renewable industry is a very small amount.


At first I thought you were ignorant  but have come to the realization you are paid troll for the fossil fuel industry. How many other boards are you spewing with you misinformation crap?

Yeah, right. That's why Wyoming has this:

Cut down mature trees which consume CO2 and replace them with saplings (BTW, a 1 in 5 survival rate is 20%, not 30%) and act as if that sapling is going to consume as much CO2 as the tree it replaces?

Serious bullshit.

Whoaaa....

Over my pay grade, weighing in  to this one.  Would sea deployment of nukes be seen as an agressive escalation?  Maybe the trigger to invade Taiwan?

I would be surprised if we don't have nukes at sea already (we're supposed to, right?).

The question is one of whether to deploy low yield (tactical) nukes or not, or whether to outfit more tactical platforms with strategic level nukes.  W-80s should fit on most missiles or torpedoes, and can be dialed up from 5 to 150 kilotons.

Would the Chinese hesitate to go for a one-shot fleet engagement, even if it invited a strategic (ICBM) response?

Note: edited to correct yield range of the W-80

OMG

I'd be startled too, with a sudden loud noise after about destroying the country.
