We need another PETA type group in this country so I'm advocating the STWT Movement. It's also referred to as Stop The Wind Turbine Movement. One would have to drive the farmlands of the Midwest to appreciate the need. There are wind turbines as far as the eye can see.
From Michelle's Mirror:
Tens of thousands of aging blades are coming down from steel towers around the world and most have nowhere to go but landfills. In the U.S. alone, about 8,000 will be removed in each of the next four years…
Built to withstand hurricane-force winds, the blades can’t easily be crushed, recycled or repurposed. That’s created an urgent search for alternatives in places that lack wide-open prairies. In the U.S., they go to the handful of landfills that accept them, in Lake Mills, Iowa; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; and Casper, where they will be interred in stacks that reach 30 feet under.
Damn, it sucks being green.
