Comments by "Matthew Nirenberg" (@matthewnirenberg) on "Why Wind Turbine Blades Are So Hard to Recycle | World Wide Waste" video.
The solution is simple - scrap all wind turbines and use wave motion generators instead. Wave motion generators can be made from steel (then coat it to protect it) which can be melted down and completely recycled. Wind Turbines will be nothing but an environmental problem as the blades being scrapped will always far exceed any reuse capability/demand. Plus for every wind turbine that is built, a huge pedestal to which they are mounted is made from steel reinforced concrete - when a wind turbine is scrapped these pedestals are just left to become some future problem. They are a huge environmental problem and waste of concrete and steel. The problem is everyone is so in love with wind turbines that they never listened in the beginning when we all said this would happen. An alarming number of wind turbines catch fire each year which results in them emitting so much pollution that they undo any and all good they achieve.

@gregoryeverson741 It has zero effect on sea life. The 'problems' with it are that its highly efficient, is completely recyclable, doesn't harm sea life and that it actually fixes the problem. These are 'problems' as the powers that be, along with big energy don't really want solutions because there's more money to be made from having problems and from having the need for a solution than there is to be made from an actual solution. Every time any viable solution exists, its quickly shelved (rights purchased and never used), demonised with false claims so everyone rejects it (the media help with this) or simply doesn't get any funding because they don't really want solutions. If you look at the 'approved' green solutions, you'll find that the big oil companies are the manufacturers and producers of the equipment. For example BP & Shell produce 95% of all solar panels whilst the other 5% are low quality and are produced by 'knock-off' companies.
