Several have went of service and rarely do they bring in a crane to fix a single turbine.
Has that one by you that got hit by lightning been repaired we talked about last year?
The folks selling solar or wind systems to a home owner never release that information.
I bet I have everything here in my yard to build a poor boy wind generator including inverters and batteries and the generator and stuff to make spinny
I have thought many times I need to build a small one just for experience.

3 of em broken in some form at this time.
They will remain as monuments on the Prairie if the landowners didn't have a tear down clause in their contract to cover when they are obsoleted or rendered inoperable.
This...
...my understanding is that when some of the wind farms up in Wyoming (I think that is where it was) were built, it was with the proper clause in place that they be removed at the "end of their life." Even if they worked until the need to be replaced came about, the company was required to have the money in trust or escrow somewhere to fund the removal.
Kinda looks like a Piper wing...am I close?[/QUOT
I have read several articles about the farms in New York state have met their service life (20 years) and they have no way to dispose of the blades since they are mostly fiberglass, trash sites will not allow them. Supposedly thousand of blades are being stored till they figure out what to do with them
Was just in Norman earlier to photograph the fly-over by the military planes, and as we left, we got held up by a train carrying a lot of blades for the windmills. Each blade spanned 2 1/2 flat cars, so they arranged them so that the tips of the blades overhung an otherwise empty flatcar between the other 4 cars. They were going north, so I have no idea where they are built nor where they might be going.
