It would be interesting to see the case that was put for the retiring wind turbines in Spain considering they were built in 2005.

The challenge in retiring these massive structures would be the logistics of dismantling, transporting, and processing the decommissioned wind turbines, which would total about 7,500 turbines with 20,000 fiberglass blades. A report from TVP World notes that while 85% of the components can be reused, only a few landfills accept fiberglass.
