So we hear people complaining wind turbine blades supposedly can't be recycled. I don't think that's true, but even if it is: over its lifetime, a large wind turbine (11MW, offshore), will generate the electrical equivalent of burning ~200,000 tons of coal in an efficient thermal power plant. The total weight of these terrible blades? 100 tons. So spare me the whining.
