In comparison to waste from all traditional energy sources, decommissioned blades are indeed an insignificant problem, but hey, improvement is improvement! :)

Yeah I don’t agree with that. It’s a complete distraction and irrelevant, it adds confusion to a ley audience by implying this was something that needed addressing.
We’ve got some real problems; a preponderance of windmill blades sounds like a made up rw talking point: responding to or producing articles like this offers a validation that the counterfactual doesn’t warrant.
It is actually problematic to spend time, effort, and other people’s attention and understanding making weird defensive claims to non issues.

Exactly what we probably said for plastics. And here we are now. The logic of, it’s just a “small” amount, why bother is so wrong. What good is to piling trash?
