But if we have seen something close in the USA because it is not profitable, it is the wind farms, not the nuclear power plants.
But if, but if, US nuclear also closes.
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.

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?
