those are brand new windmill blades made of aluminum and fibreglas, easily recycled but BETTER to just bury them...out of site, out of mind,.....

Defective? Why are they burying them? This world is soo wasteful. Like you said why wouldn't they recycle them. Cheaper to start with raw product then recycled? Wonder how the geologists will will interpret this for the history books when they dig them up in a 100 years if the world makes it that far.

it was probably cheaper to bury them around here the lawns of many new homes are covering up 1,000s of brand new bricks as it's cheaper to bury onsite than restack and save.

Seems some resourceful uses have been found - grind them up and add to concrete mix as fibers can increase strength . But it seems the life of blades makes the supply beyond what concrete additive market can absorb .

Only so much concrete CAN add them to, as well NO Aluminum, the base mounts are pulled, just Fiberglass and plywood/lumber. Have to run thru a Cement Kiln to add to Cement, too costly and fouls the kilns, Continental Cement inside info on that. Faster Cheaper and less issue burying ONSITE at the sites, these are also NOT new, are stress fractured older blades, wind erosion on edges leads to moisture intrusion and stress cracking begins, last around 5-9 years then replaced.

yes, sad thing is , if you spend enough time looking at satellites, you can see 100s of these 'temporary storage facilities'. The 'trick' is to revisit them months/years later and hmm, that's a nice green field.....don't remember that......

The problem with those green fields is they cannot load support, they are unstable as those hollow assmblies decay away so slowly. No planting to harvesting no value.

MO has several large Wind Farms NE and NC state, along IA border as well these farms owners and additional farms exist in IA, ALL have deposition pits for blades that are failed/failing, one was noted as "Running out of Room" for the blading.

And the "greenies" say coal fired power generation makes pollution, but at least it's reliable!! I would say solar and wind make even more environmental pollution and they are not reliable!.

Look at Solar Sites, there will be CONEX Containers along the edges, Solar Arrays have Cadmium, Selenium, ARSENIC, Lead and other nasties in them, a Panel Cracks or is such as Hail Damaged gets placed in a Bag, placed in a Container, HAZMAT and CANNOT be Moved except by HAZMAT Hauler to a Recycling center that Has Yet to be Built and likely Will not.
