1. I saw this yesterday and figured Kate would have it posted sooner or later. What a disgrace. What an absolute disgrace I mean. Send this to all your liberal friends everybody, because Lord knows this stuff won’t be reported on your local or national news tonight.

2. I will be forwarding this to every idiot who has sent me something about single-use plastic…

   Oh, BTW, my office building (owned by ManuLife) is “celebrating” “National Sweater Day” by turning down the thermostat by 2 degrees.

   Lovely. A hugely profitable company which is helping to hype climate hy$teria, virtual signals by freezing office workers…then pockets the savings. I mean, at least I’m pretty sure we paid a lease that was suppose to supply adequate heating for the entire contract…

   1. Prominent nipples will save the the planet.

      1. ‘Here’s looking at you babe.’

   2. Agreed. One can pile on multi sweaters, but that doesn’t help the hands which have to do the keyboard thing. I suppose one could wear fingerless gloves a la Tevya in “Fiddler on the Roof”, but those could prove to be clumsy and not really effective.

   3. Two degrees isn’t a huge drop. Pretty wussy not to able to deal with that.

      1. That’s the tip of the iceberg. Do you also approve of the billions of dollars invested in traditional power plants that have been made worthless by the carbon tax? Who will compensate those investors!

      2. Sure thing, Nanook.

3. “How deep Senor Suzuki?”

   1. That is awesome funny – good job

4. Gang Green,making their usual contribution to civilization.

5. The bulldozer used to bury those windmills is likely powered by AOC’s bulls**t.

6. The unspoken irony is that they are using fossil fuel powered heavy equipment to bury those blades just as they did to dig, pour,transport and erect these things.
   These people are truly phucked.

   1. The other irony that you can find in the original article is that a number of the blades you see here are from Warren Buffet’s windmills.

      That he’s scrapping-out so as to put-up bigger ones.

      They’re ten years old.

      Didn’t the wind-turbine SWJerks promise us these were good for twenty-five years? What’s doubly funny ( – if any of this is – ) is that these things don’t produce enough electricity in twenty-five years to pay for their replacement. So cutting them up after ten years? I mean, Warren Buffett is doing this, and he’s pretty shrewd around a dollar bill – the subsidies he’s getting to cut them up after producing two-fifths of their projected electricity, and therefore not even two-fifths of their projected replacement cost, must be eye-watering!

      And all we get to do is pay.

   2. But, but, but … the article cited … “the transition from fossil fuels”. Don’t you know? We’re “transitioning” from fossil fuels. Elon Musk will soon be there with his Electric bulldozer … which will be 10-stories tall … with 9-stories of batteries … which the tractor will be burying next year.

7. Every windmill owner should post a bond to:

   a) recycle every windmill tower and blade

   b) remove the concrete base the windmill sat on

   For item a. Windmill blades and pillars can be used to make houses for the gang greens.

   For item b. Give criminals who are eligible for parole, sledgehammers. Their parole is over when they reduce two windmill concrete bases to pea gravel.

8. Yep, a bigger problem than nuclear waste. Brought to you, by people who will never suffer any consequences for the public policy they abvocated for.

   They should pile them up in front of Al Gore’s house.

9. Seems like a odd way to save mommy earth?

10. Seismic Change as Middle-East Muslim continue to – warm up – to Israel. ____Headline____ Story as Follows;

    Why is this happening NOW?—–. But not with the Arab Spring, which began during the Obama Administration(s)

    Answer the whole World understood the high Level of American Corruption during the Clinton — POTUS # 42 ___ Bush — POTUS # 43 ___ Obama/Clinton — POTUS # 44 1/2 .

    Therefore the Middle East took advantage of there oil assets to force the weak U.S.A. Administrations and easily used the centuries long scapegoating of Jews to hide the cruelty of the Arab & Persian Theocratic Dictators.

    Now the Administration of POTUS # 45 has established oil independence and Have a strong Leadership which Refuses to let American Culture be the ‘Running Dog’ of the European jaded & faded aristocrat Culture. ____ Cruelty is no longer acceptable to the Nation based on the “Great Experiment”.

    Unfortunately the geographical closest and therefore most logical Country to benefit from the “Great Experiment” Canad has steadily slid further under the Bureaucratic indifference of the Victorian Era concept of collusion between an Elitist political culture and the re-inforcement of eighteenth century thinking with the Morass of the 1981-1982 -SCOC manipulated – Constructed Constitution and Edited to Fit –1982 BNA as a sop to the Persons recognizing any Legacy Connection to Magna Carta is gone.

11. Well at least they aren’t still killing birds, right?

    1. The blades are chipped from grinding up endangered birds of prey.

    2. What about the poor worms?

12. disgraceful.
    one of the most singularly abominations to come out of green theology since its inception.
    the hypocricy is outweighed only by the FACT that fiberglas will still be around 500 years from now.
    ‘reduce reuse recycle’ ummmm . . . . no other options?

    1. Could they be used for artificial reefs?

       1. I wondered the same thing. Probably too toxic.

13. So what is the total “carbon footprint” of this fiasco, from start to finish, versus how much total energy produced?

14. Again, it’s about crony capitalists getting rich off of the taxpayer. It was never about real alternatives.

15. Not sure whether to caption “Bladerunner 2020” or to point out this looks much like the oil & gas industry.

    1. That looks nothing like the Oil Industry…Toronto-Hamilton..?? Maybe.

       1. I was referring to the thousands of abandoned oil and gas wells and how they are left behind, just like a giant load of wind turbine blades bulldozed into the earth because they too have no value anymore.

16. I guess the Calm Lake wind farm didn’t work out that well, perhaps they should have chosen a better site than Windless Flats.

    It’s sort of like being surprised that Landslide Creek Forestry Road washed out down by Torrential Rainstorm Lake the other day.

    Or the accident where those hikers ran into trouble in Flash Flood Basin.

    1. Or that the river tends to flood in High River, AB.

17. If you read the whole article, they have swallowed the global warming myth whole. They say “Wind power is carbon-free…”. Apparently they think that huge dozer is running on unicorn farts, just like all the mining and manufacturing processes that went into making them.

    1. Yes, the article says “Wind power is carbon-free and about 85% of turbine components, including steel, copper wire, electronics and gearing can be recycled or reused. ” No, it’s not even close to being “carbon free” when there is a tremendous CO2-laden effort to manufacture and then recycle the stuff.

       And that’s not even counting the stand-by power generation necessary to keep the lights on when the wind isn’t blowing.

       Totally delusional.

18. “In the European Union, which strictly regulates material that can go into landfills, some blades are burned in kilns that create cement or in power plants. But their energy content is weak and uneven and the burning fiberglass emits pollutants.”

    The idiot Germans have more windmills than Kraft has caramels. Over 30,000.
    So I guess when they have no more use they’ll send them to the ovens I mean kilns.

    Good times had by all.

19. The technology of 1980’s finds it’s home…. That GE has died a predictable death for building this crap is an Anti -Capitalist folly … Too many Communists in the Boardroom…..Time to check your investments

20. I hope the poor schmuck whose job it was to cut those things to length was given some sort of breathing apparatus. the dust coming off the saw was likely carcinogenic.

21. Ha ha!

22. Paint the blades battle ship gray, use them to make the border wall and hope the Mexicans don’t clue in they made out of plastics

23. The swindlemills probably came to the end of their life when the subsidies ran out.

24. I am thinking – artificial reefs, as part of the windmill companies’ cleanup plan

25. ‘How Dare They !’

26. use ’em as part of the wall….

27. Pure THEFT of literally Billions of ratepayers taxdollars all predicated on the total lie of Climate change – AGW (to enrich Liberal Insiders), built upon the utter hypocrisy exhibited by Govt officials Media, the UN trough feeders, planetary Elites & PedoWood as they flit about in their personal jets and billion dollars yachts bragging how they’re saving the planet by wearing the same pair of Fkn socks over 2 days.

    …I can tell ya, it makes me seethe with anger, and this is just Climate Change…fFS..!

28. Saw this awhile ago. They are also dropping complete wind turbines in one state and burying the whole thing because that is all they are not worth anything, even as scrap.
