  1. What are they going to do with all the used turbine blades?

  2.  @martinrasmussen6634  They are not recyclable. That's why they are being put into land fill. CO2 is easily recyclable, there is a natural process that does it already, with no human intervention.

  3.  @martinrasmussen6634  They can commit to recycling them, but it's a hollow promise if there is no means to do so.

  4.  @martinrasmussen6634  To be fair, there is a little more information needed in your comment. Let me propose some guesses as to what you might mean: a) They have discovered a means to recycle existing blades. The logical conclusion is that their blades are made from recycled old blades. b) Existing blades are still not recyclable, but they have found a new means of production, that produces blades that are recyclable, and so they will recycle them when necessary. Note, when I say recycle, I do not mean use the old blades for a new purpose, I reserve recycling as remaking the old to perform as new. If the blade cannot perform the original role, then it is being down cycled. But I have to admit that I am not aware either of the two propositions is possible. If they are then there must be some evidence to prove it. Without evidence, it's just hearsay. It could be that there is no way to recycle existing blades, and no new production technique that results in blades that can be recycled. If this is the case then the Danes are merely boasting that they will be able to recycle in future. If we are going to accept boasts as fact then we may as well keep producing nuclear waste until sometime in the future when it is possible to recycle that as well.

  5.  @martinrasmussen6634  I agree that it should be the manufacturer's responsibility to manage their products once they reach the end of life. Then they will have a reason to make things that can be recycled or disposed of easily.
