Yeah, I mean, all other things being equal it's better to find efficiencies where possible and not just throw things away needlessly. Folks like to laugh at it, but plastics manufacturing for one-use items like bags and straws has real externalities that aren't borne by the cost of manufacture.

But in this particular situation: a quarter-century-old turbine blade has paid for itself so many times over already that this is just not where we need to be spending out time worrying about efficiencies. Even if we just bury the things, wind power remains (by far!) the most environmentally beneficial choice for almost all electrical markets.
