You don't have to look that far. Those things are toxic messes. They require massive amounts of concrete to hold the tower in. Farmers often have to move fences so the blade trucks can clear the fields. The turbine itself used 2,000+ gallons of oil (it's not your car alternator. It can't be air cooled). They **constantly leak** (look up "window turbine leaky lawsuits". There are so many...) and fuck up the underlying farm land. They take ~3 years to construct and then have to be replaced every 7~10 years, so the farms are now a constant construction site.

The blades are composite material (usually fiberglass, carbon fiber or some other composite) so they cannot be recycled. They're buried in landfills. They have massive breaks in case the wind speed gets too high, and when they fail, the turbine can shatter.

I don't think wind turbines even remotely recoup their construction costs and yet we kill building them. It's insane.
