So a refinery burning up in Alaska is a clean process?

Is that what you got out of my post? Your battery doesn’t charge all the way does it. :lol:

What many consider to be "green" technology is in fact just as environmentally dirty as anything else.

They just move the emissions from one place and produce them somewhere else and think they accomplished something.

Those leaking wind turbines are a ecological disaster. I heard it right here from irv. :lol:

Holy shit that's a bad ass fire. Didn't even hear about it. That place is about 40 miles west of me

I remember it. We were worried about the wind shifting and killing all of us in Rockdale. We almost died bro.

Falmouth Turbine Relocation Omits Maintenance Costs | Falmouth, MA Patch

Get pics within this decade…. Blades are being recycled.  Used in concrete.

 

  • The majority of blades from onshore turbines that GE changes out during repowering efforts will be shredded and used to replace raw materials for cement manufacturing, creating a “circular economy for composite materials,” Anne McEntee, CEO of GE Renewable Energy’s Digital Services, said in a statement. In Europe, such recycling processes have grown to commercial scale, and GE plans to deploy the program at scale quickly.
  • The process will make wind turbines fully recyclable, while reducing carbon dioxide emissions from cement production by a net 27%, according to environmental impact analysis by Quantis U.S. The reprocessed blade has a net-positive environmental impact by replacing coal or other raw materials in the cement production process, according to GE.

Might be possible, but probably not happening.  Lots of feel good words.  

Based on our research, we rate MISSING CONTEXT the claim that wind power turbine blades cannot be recycled, because without additional information it could be misleading. The blades can technically be recycled, and an array of small-scale efforts are doing so. But the practice is not widespread due to the cost of the undertaking and a lack of infrastructure.

They do accomplish something.  The citidiots in LA/NY/etc move pollution from their yard to someone else's.  Disgusting.

Perhaps windmills’ greatest party trick is their ability to convert conservatives into conservationists.  :lol:

It’s a cover up. Wake up!!

You sure shit know if a empty gas truck rolled over and dumped 10 gal of gas in to a storm drain it would have been the headline of every news channel in a 200mi radius and prob picked up by at least 2 nat outlets as filler . Just reality

Funny how that works, eh? One would think, due to the global warming/anti oil agenda, they, the media, were hiding this on purpose for some reason? :news:

Well I don't think so. But I don't watch alot of news so it could have been.
