Phantasm (npub1er2…arq5) I'm cynical about a lot of this but battery recycling is real and also the new lithiums don't need to be recycled to be repurposed. They can still last decades as storage after they've been retired from their original purpose due to capacity loss being greater that permitted for their original application
Agreed about a lot of new stuff being rather terrible environmentally. Like these giant turbine blades? Yikes.
Also go search for that. The results are amazing. Countless articles try to greenwash it. "Wind Turbine Blades Don’t Have To End Up In Landfills"

They admit that they do indeed end up in the landfill because there is no way to recycle them. Just begging us to believe that the new fiberglass recycling research is gonna work out.
"While about 90% of turbines are easily recyclable, their blades are not." pwease
ignore the last ten percent
Sick of this nonsense.
