> A wind turbine’s blades can be longer than a Boeing 747 wing, so at the end of their lifespan they can’t just be hauled away.

This is wrong, the trucks that bring those blades could well re-take them to recycling plant. It would be a special transport, but a well pre-planned one.

So non-toxic waste is somehow a catastrophe compared to all of the other nonrecycalbe garbage already being produced? That is a blatantly stricter standard than literally anything else is held to.

I"m pretty sure one could cut those expired turbine blades into short pieces if they were too large.
