A problem.
So do you think that because the old turbine blades have not been recycled, that makes wind turbines bad and shouldn’t have been introduced?
No - you are making stuff up again
So which is the con part?
Do you think that man made climate change is not real?
Or
Do you think that the increase in CO2 over last 200 years is not cause of temp increase?
Or
Do you think that global warming is actually a good thing and not a bad thing?
To give a sense of scale there might be 60,000 tons of wind turbine blades a year over all of Europe.
That is a large number, but you have to put into context. Manchester which diverts 99% of its household waste to non-landfill generates around 10,000 tons a year. That's covering 20% of all electricity in the EU.
The EU uses around 130 million tons of landfill a year. So blades waste would be 0.05% of all landfill waste.
One ton out of every 2000. Any waste is bad but it's not even a rounding error.

It is always useful to put things in proper perspective.
A lot of people who worry about the wind turbine blades mountains don't have a good grasp of how tiny it is on a national/global scale.
It's less than half disposable battery waste that gets landfilled (real recycling rates are around 50% but rising). So think about how many AA batteries your household goes through in a year and quarter it.
Or if you replaced wind with coal you'd be generating 142kg of fly ash per year for a typical household (roughly). That historically has had to go to landfill as while some can be used when fresh it doesnt store well and we generated too much to use when coal was a significant part of our grid.

Like the UKs contribution to world CO levels. Virtually nil.
Nope, the UKs contribution to climate change is roughly in line with population. We're (very roughly) 1% of the population and cause roughly 1% of emissions. And we'll only need to spend around 1% of the total to mitigate it. But probably more than 1% of the cost to adapt to it as we're vulnerable. How much will it cost to move Hull when flooding gets too bad.
Wind power generates around 20/30% of power and generates a tiny fraction of the waste historic power systems generated.
Not entirely true when you consider how long CO2 can stay in the atmosphere:
I see m-itch's research has improved to.....

Try being nice, you might enjoy it
It's interesting that you think by pointing out falsities, misleading waffle and outright lies - is me not 'being nice'.
No ta. I'll continue to point out the RWR failings just the same.

Theres a better way to do it but whatever, carry on...
