So you'd be happy to have nuclear waste stored in your community then ?
And of course you'd be happy to have a nuclear power station up the road as well.
Even though very large power stations are already not going to fit into a renewable energy grid anyway.
" Decommissioned wind turbine blades take hundreds of thousands of years to decompose. "
Two things about that:
Blades are pretty benign as opposed to nuclear waste which isn't.
The wind industry is already working on recyclable wind turbine blades.

" The fly ash from coal fired power stations has to be stored forever. "
Good reason to get rid of them then, isn't it ?
Actually , there were a couple of projects where they wanted to mine magnesium from fly ash a few years ago. I'm not sure what happened to them.
