Wind power: for or against the wind?

Renewable energies except solar electric or thermal (seeforums dedicated below): wind turbines, energy from the sea, hydraulic and hydroelectricity, biomass, biogas, deep geothermal energy ...

The body of the text says well
Although having a license allowing him to operate the reactor until 2034, Exelon decided to shut it down prematurely, because the site had been in deficit for many years.

I never said it didn't close, I spoke of "closing in the USA because not profitable", and this is wind power, not nuclear power.
Of course it sometimes closes, for end-of-life equipment or if it is irretrievable after an accident or not profitable to repair, extremely rare cases.

"Because not profitable" we are talking about the Three Miles Island nuclear power plant. Read again with your sticky finger.

Being the same as being unprofitable is the same thing.

Your bad faith becomes nonsense gratiné. Can you read ?!
"Of course it closes sometimes, for end of life equipment or if it is unrecoverable after accident"

It was about the wind / nuclear comparison, the wind farm in the USA because not profitable, not nuclear, I remind you because after two posts you forgot it, like the goldfish which rediscovers the landscape after a jar tower.

"Wind turbines are abandoned, like ancient totems with a declining green religion.

Verification of the facts: these are not 14 abandoned wind turbines, but rather 000, ie 2000% of the machines and 1% of the installed capacity.
And on these 2000 machines 770 will be replaced by new machines (for Google).

Still no solution for recycling the blades. They are buried in sand. A gift for future generations : Mrgreen:

Excellent reference. We thought we'd only have concrete wind turbines in the ground, but these are also the blades that we will have ad eternam.
We no longer hear them there, the defendants of the underground storage of nuclear waste. : Lol:

Dismantling and recycling of wind turbines

18 Feb 2019 Bernard Deboyser

The lifespan of a wind turbine is 20 to 30 years. But for some time old parks have been dismantled before reaching this age. As technology in this field has evolved considerably, replacing old machines with more powerful and more productive wind turbines is profitable and also makes it possible to produce more renewable energy. But what do we do with dismantled wind turbines? Is it possible to recycle them?

and see the video in it. We know how to demolish the concrete foundation, using a rock breaker (this is used for example to destroy concrete walls, concrete bridge ...). The demolished concrete is then sent for crushing to be reused according to a well-defined particle size.

Hello ecological impact ...
We demollit before the end of life, with debauchery of construction equipment, and in the rare cases where we put a more powerful wind turbine in place, because in case of abandonment, the base remains.

It's crazy what it can pollute a concrete base. More, it seems, than nuclear waste. Pffff, "we" really take us for idiots.
