The world’s largest wind turbine manufacturer, Vestas, has just announced a novel process for turning old wind turbine blades into new ones, and considering the amount of ink spilled pointing out that blades which reach their end of life (25 years or so) are “piling up” in landfills, this could be a game-changer for wind […]
