@renaissanceman5847 I've seen people make this claim before but the far majority of them are recycled, as far as I can find. I haven't seen any fields of tons of buried recyclable materials.

@nateman10 95% recyclable materials, mostly metals.

@renaissanceman5847 Just stick with the facts. Nuclear is still cleaner.

@pedjamilosavljevic6235 Completely agreed. Sad bit is it's cheaper for them to let it all sit for 20 years and then burn it, unless somebody sues them like GE.

@pedjamilosavljevic6235 Yeah, it's a sad state of things. I'm glad we have the epa here but GE still has to sue people to clean up the mess... Because of burning laws in Europe and the US, it's cheaper to just ship it all elsewhere to be burned as furnace fuel. China has about 1,000 industrial incinerators, smoke travels east, NASA has aerosol maps, it's bad.

Regularly lubricated is the issue I think most people would find with it, if they only knew lol.

@FoxvoxDK That's actually genius. It could use its' own electricity to re-magnetize the neodymium.

@pedjamilosavljevic6235 The fields of unburied blades that are circulating, like the ones owned by Global Fiberglass Solutions, are already contracted for recycling. They're even being sued by GE for taking too long.

@pedjamilosavljevic6235 Don't get me wrong, I'm not an advocate of wind power as a national solution. Thorium is the future.

@pedjamilosavljevic6235 As a material in recycling, it's called GRP or glass reinforced plastics. The cost to recycle it is considerably higher, hence their.. delay. But they are contracted by law to do so... then it's just what's profitable and how many people notice.

@renaissanceman5847 From what I'm reading, they're 95% recyclable materials. Haven't seen anyone cutting them up and burying them, in any case.

@renaissanceman5847 I've done the research, that's what I'm saying. Burying in fields? Doesn't happen. They're not great for other actual legitimate reasons, like the lubricants and land used.

@pedjamilosavljevic6235 Name of owner, name of temporary landfill owner, name of pursuant in charges, all verifiable and on public record. No "what if?", no "how do we know?"s. Fiberglass is absolutely recyclable.
