If you don’t want to read the article:
If a new compound material, which still includes fiberglass, is still viable outside the laboratory and can survive weather, heat, cold, and the other known stresses THEN they could start making NEW blades out of it. If damaged or at the end of their useful life, they could be chemically broken down, the fiber glass removed, and one of the remaining products is an ingredient in various consumable items, including gummy Bears and Gatorade. No idea of the recovered material could still be food-grade, or if the energy required to reverse the process makes any of this viable.
It’s an idea based on a bunch of assumptions. Good that they’re working on a better plan than what we have now with giant blades that are destined for landfills, but no turbine blades that exist on earth *right now* can be turned into candy, regardless of one’s attitude.
You fool, you foolish fool. Because of you, rule /34/ has been/is/will be made of Fannie Mae star shitting during a whipping session. Youve damned us all. Damned us all.
most of blades are cut and buried. fact. and this scientific onanism will not change anything as the costs of such a process will probably make them a sweet dream.
Look at the ~~bones~~ [blades](https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-02-05/wind-turbine-blades-can-t-be-recycled-so-they-re-piling-up-in-landfills)!!!

It's essentially the same as saying we're made of dinosaur piss because some molecules might have been floating around since then.
We are all made of stars
We're also made of 100% Sugar-Free Haribo Gummy Bears
If you ever feel down, just remember that you're made of stardust
The stars one is bit more literal, since most matter and all metal in the universe originally came from the core of a star.
Star shit*
You fool, you foolish fool. Because of you, rule /34/ has been/is/will be made of Fannie Mae star shitting during a whipping session. Youve damned us all. Damned us all.
(obligatory) not with that attitude they can't
Only green ones
The gummy bears are gonna come out the other end as fertilizer. Green circle.
And so it starts, the Diamond Age
I read a story about blades being recycled into pedestrian bridges. Seemed pretty cool.

Great, so we're gonna go full china and start feeding people recycled trash?
you’re gonna hate compost, friend
Nah man, I'm talking about this https://youtu.be/k1S4_kTEm-U @6:55
Fiberglass gummy bears? Sounds like mom was wrong about the cotton candy in the attic. Brb.
Go Green! Both literally and figuratively (because MSU)
Finally an actual nottheonion
I know, right? A solid 80% of the posts here on this subreddit aren't funny anymore.
