Firstly, the blades aren't metal. They are composite. There is/was an issue with dealing with them at end of life but we are just about at the point of fully recyclable blades now . This technology is being carried over into the many other types of composites that we used to put in landfill as well.
The towers themselves are steel . They last just like the steel legs of an oil rig or jetty and can be recycled at end of life as does the nacelle.
What is outdated in the video .? Rosie Barnes works in the industry . She is up to date as anyone. Far more than you going on your comments so far .
l agree . lt would've been much easier to set targets if the COALition has allowed that more than a decade a go. Turnbull tried to get the NEG plan up. Gillard introduced a carbon tax which Abbott repealed.
Even before that Howard looked at a carbon tax. Some 20 years ago !
All were mechanisms that allowed the energy industry to plan ahead and invest for the long term with a high amount of confidence . That would meant that they could have progressively phased out fossil at a manageable pace.
lnstead, because the RWNJs of the COALition refused to budge , business did not invest resulting in the position we are in now . Consequently , we are playing catch up and the community is wearing it.
