Very interesting. RS. Canada

Congratulations for doing a reportage about a very much important topic. It raises and brings to light, for those who did not think about this aspect of the wind energy, better understanding and comprehension of the challenges we have to face.

Seems like a good starting point to make insulation

@thomasgade226 Год назад

Most of the wind turbine is valuable steel, copper, aluminum etc, becoming new products. Now also blades, some becoming car seat filler

@petepete66 Год назад

Why can the blades not be 1/3 shorter ??? If they are shorter they are more stronger … and from 1 windblade you can make two more windblades … they old are all too big … 😂👍🍀🔥

@taniakeen4375 Год назад

They are not biodegradable, they are pure gas and oil. Including the plastic plants coverings. Just like expensive cars

@tommanley2924 Год назад

Did they ever turn a profit compared to their input to produce?

@andyf10 Год назад

Yes

@thomasgade226 Год назад

Yes, within one year!

@@tommanley2924 A year is ambitious, normally about 5-8 years. Depends on the price of electricity, at the moment the wind farm comanies are making a fortune.
