| quote | | Wind power is an increasingly popular form of renewable energy. However, when it’s time to replace the huge turbine blades... disposal is a problem. Now, scientists report a new composite resin suitable for making these behemoths that could later be recycled into new turbine blades or a variety of other products, including [kitchen and bathroom] countertops, [road vehicle] taillights, diapers—and gummy bears. |

These eminently edible gummy bears were made from a "bioplastic" resin that has been tested by researchers at Michigan State University.
The researchers say that their new resin could be used to manufacture the very largest wind turbine blades, and that such future wind energy "behemoths" would be more readily recyclable than the glass fiber composite wind turbine blades that are currently representative of the industry. Wind turbine blades made from this resin could be recycled into many in-demand products—including newly manufactured wind turbine blades.
Let me be proactive and consider the (likely) question "Why would it be useful to recycle wind turbine blades into newly manufactured wind turbine blades?"
Wind turbine blades have a fixed service lifetime. And there could be advantage in preemptively replacing even serviceable blades with larger blades, or blades of a different and improved design. Replacing wind turbine blades before the end of their originally projected service life. That's upping the wind energy game from checkers to chess (metaphorically speaking).[This message has been edited by rinselberg (edited 12-26-2022).]

This screams:
We want more grant $moneys$ that gives us over paid phd-heads something to do and not produce results.
How about hemp. It can be used for aaannnyyytthhhaanngg, so the potheads say. Are these guys talking bong resin?
R.I., are you promoting bong resin edibles? Maybe if they come up with rainbow colors, you know the colors that kids are attracted to and the groomers use to attract the kiddies.
How about they use the hides of those who were registered D-Evil whom passed away (is that term even pc?). That's some good recycling there.[This message has been edited by WonderBoy (edited 12-26-2022).]

You must've backed Theranos.
$$$$$$$$ makes the central bank and it's CONTROLLERS happy.
Are they factoring in climate change and "projected" loss of crops? You and they paint pictures with liquified BU!!$HIT. Master arteeests y'all are. Don't forget to carry the one with your fuzz logic.

"World's biggest floating offshore wind farm begins construction in Hainan, China"
ShanghaiEye魔都眼
January 3, 2023.
| quote | The project is planned to be constructed in two phases. The construction scale of the first phase is 12 wind turbines with an installed capacity of [200 MW], which is scheduled to be grid-connected by the end of 2025. The second phase, to be put into operation by the end of 2027, will add another [800 MW] of capacity.
When completed, [it's] set to generate more than [4 GW-hours] of clean electricity per year.
As one of the key projects of the 14th Five-Year Plan Period (2021-25), it is required to be in line with carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals, as well as Hainan's requirements of building a new energy system.
It will involve development of domestically made technology systems for high-capacity floating wind power projects, that can be used to promote the upgrading of the offshore wind power industry in other parts of China. |

Looks like the NOAA study is showing a trend of Global Cooling in the last ten years.
What ever happened to the leftist lie about the 'hottest' decade on record?
