North Platte River in Casper, Wyoming.
Between last September and this March, it will become the final resting place for 1,000 fiberglass turbine blades.
These blades, which have reached the end of their 25-year working lives, come from three wind farms in the north-western US state. Each will be cut into three, then the pieces will be stacked and buried.
Turbines from the first great 1990s wave of wind power are reaching the end of their life expectancy today. About two gigawatts worth of turbines will be refitted in 2019 and 2020. And disposing of them in an environmentally-friendly way is a growing problem.
This cost taxpayers $200,000 or more per unit to have them transported and decommissioned.
It's time to stop the madness. We need more support open your eyes to the environmental issues with windmills they will only be wasted and decommissioned just like all the others have been."
Here is your "clean energy!"
