Blades are bad, and just think in 20 years all of them get tossed away, or I hope at that point we find a way to recycle them...

Wind turbines are great at producing green energy. But when they reach the end of their life-span, their blades are incredibly difficult to recycle.

Speed kills
When I was reading about the topic of wind energy, I started to wonder how fast wind turbines really spin. So, I continued my research…

According to this chart, depending on who makes it, can degrade to 80% of life in just 10 years, down to about 80% in 25 years, but still thousands of dollars to replace them every 25 years, and the wires, and tech to run then for it will be so far more advanced then your out dated 25 year old crap, and in roof mounted and not trackable they are not all that efficient in the first place, so I hope your roof is facing the sun most of the day. I for one cannot afford these, trackable or not, nor every 25 years or so, and the hazardous waste produced by them evey 25 years replacing them, and my neighbor, and my neighbors neighbor, and so forth, is going to be huge and a problem to keep replacing them all the time every 25 years to keep them at least 80% or better.

Dont get me wrong, but I dont like being lied to by these companies saying this is the end all to fossil fuels. Im not happy about them, but really what are you really saving when the materials to make all this stuff and replace will be bad for the environment. And if you end all fossil fuels, what about the cloudy, non windy days, cant produce something that relies on that to produce, PLEASE tell me how your gonna get energy on a cloudy non windy day if you kill off all the power plants?
Please dont kill the messenger but between waste, replacement and cost to replace every 20-25 years, unless they track the sun and /or your roof faces the sun all day are inefficient really, but still need replacing and cause waste to do so, and waste to produce. If on your roof, you need un-environment friendly lead acid batteries to store that energy on cloudy days, and hope its not cloudy for 2 days or more for your waste batteries are gonna die, then what? If wind are made from a composite material that is hazardous to produce, and need replacing, so far, every 20 years, and what about the ones that the brakes go out on producing all that good eco friendly smoke before it self destructs, doesnt happen often, but it does, watched one on youtube blow up they put right next to a school
They just are not all the "ECO" or as useful, cloudy no windy days again, it happens and alot depending on where you live, as we are really told about them. And again
Im for getting rid of nuke and coal, but this, to me, isnt the end all to them as we are told, or as nice to the eco as we are led to believe in Unless you can tell me otherwise as to how they will produce the much needed power on cloudy non windy days, and its not the same all over the US, or world, to have them in all spots too. I want to see something better, and I THINK tidal turbines are really close to doing it if you live near an ocean, for they work on the tide that is always moving at a constant rate with the tide, but again hazardous to produce, need replacing, break down, kill fish and what not, but of the other 2, the tide doesnt quit working so they will always make power no matter what, unless they break. But too bad we all dont live near an ocean, but love the concept of these units.
