    You ever see one of the turbine blades up close? They're huge. At least the length of 1.5 semi trucks

      Yep. A family member worked for Vestas. 30 feet at the time, though they make them much bigger now. They even have ways of recycling them but the UK government wont give them the right to open a processing plant.
