China Finds Ingenious Solution for Its Decommissioned Wind Turbine Blades
Many wind turbine blades in China are approaching retirement, and researchers have come up with a creative way to reuse the giant components. In a study published earlier this summer in the journal International Soil and Water Conservation Research, scientists suggest repurposing decommissioned wind turbine blades in sand control measures. Namely, in sand barriers. The approach could be the solution to two problems: dealing with old blades and finding optimal sand control measures. “Wind turbi
