When will the decommissioned ones be torn down and hauled away? That’s what I’m waiting for.
I have been told there is no way to recycle those giant fiberglass blades. They get buried. Not very green.
It appears there is a way to recycle them:

That being said, no idea how much energy it takes for this process nor does it excuse leaks. Here is hoping the decommissioning funds are received and securely invested.
Sounds like more subsidies coming
Someone should tell that worm Andy Byars to go clean it up since he loves them so much.
Just think of this. They are putting up windmills in fields where food is being grown! Remember that when you take a bite of corn!
Those fields are used for soybeans and dent corn. You’re not eating those.
It is processed into food that is eaten!
The money flow and gamesmanship with landowners and public $$ continues……McLean County at its best. Sarcasim
Does anyone know why the wind turbines that were erected in DeWitt Co northwest Clinton are not spinning yet? They just had to rush to build that wind farm, because it was such a great idea/necessity. It’s been around 2 years that the turbines were installed, but they are just sitting there idle.
