A wind turbine’s blades can be longer than a Boeing 747 wing, so at the end of their lifespan they can’t just be hauled away. First, you need to saw through the lissome fiberglass using a diamond-encrusted industrial saw to create three pieces small enough to be strapped to a tractor-trailer.

i think they are fiberglass.....One start-up, Global Fiberglass Solutions, developed a method to break down blades and press them into pellets and fiber boards to be used for flooring and walls. The company started producing samples at a plant in Sweetwater, Texas, near the continent’s largest concentration of wind farms. It plans another operation in Iowa.
The article makes some good points. Many of the so-called "clean energy solutions" cause more problems than they resolve. Not understanding why people have a problem with the fact that landfills are being overwhelmed by these components to a "clean energy solution", Bratvold said, they’ll experiment with methods to squeeze them into smaller footprints. Yeah, that'll solve the whole dilemma!
