There will come at time for solar. It will probably advance through Space Force (I love just writing those words). It ain't now. The cost of energy and materials make no economic sense.
There's a company that is converting them to fiberglass pellets, but the products that they make from them are already being made from recycled plastic.
I've read of another company that's converting them to reinforce concrete, but it's probably easier and cheaper to use other materials.
Pieces of wind turbine blades are buried in the Casper Regional Landfill in Casper, Wyoming. Around 8,000 wind turbine blades will need to be removed and disposed of every year in the United States alone

Grind them and Burn them as fuel in a coal plant but be sure to haul the ash to a landfill because burned fiberglass ash makes me itch just to think about

Let the red necks have them.They will find a use for em.
It’s unbelievable that the best use for these is burying them underground. Not one creative person has suggested an alternative use? So greeeeeen

Sounds like a business opportunity...
Yep.Just seeing the picture of them,I thought of some raised beds for the garden I just built.
Some hockey sticks are made of fiberglass. Maybe it’s possible.
Returned to from whence they came.
It's GREEEN it's NEW and it's a DEAL ,!!
HUNDREDS OF NON-RECYCLABLE FIBERGLASS WIND TURBINE BLADES ARE PICTURED PILING UP IN LANDFILL
Stupid environmentalists.
Couldn't they chop them up, use the pieces to repair Corvette bodies?
Build more wall. Blades are designed to last. 🤔Older wall around San Diego was made from excess runway building materials from Vietnam War.
Can't we hydrolyze that back into crude oil and silicon?

Hard to believe they wear out.
I'd take on slices in 24 inch slices, fill with dirt artsy fartsy retaining wall.
C’mon man, trust the science, the earths surface shifts and those blades will generate 330300330300 kilowatt juels of...uh you know the thing
And imagine how many barrels of oil it took to make all those blades!
That stuff can't be melted down and recycled?!? WTH ?!? Windmill blades are not renewable ?
Nope. Fiberglass resin is not a thermoplastic, doesn’t readily melt and remold into something else.
