Scotland Littered By Tonnes of Toxic Plastics Shed By Thousands of Wind Turbine
Blades

https://stopthesethings.files.wordpress.com/2022/08/leading-edge-erosion.png

For a taste of your wind "powered" future, look no further than the Scottish
Highlands - where some 4,500 of these things have polluted a once majestic
landscape.

Traverse any Highland Glen these days in the hope of finding peace and
tranquility, and you'll be hard-pressed to avoid Scotland's hundreds of wind
factories and their looming industrial presence. To make way for them, more
than 17,000 acres have been cleared and 14 million trees have been clear-felled
in the process, adding to a morbid sense of pointless, industrial-scale
environmental destruction.

But, right now, it's another feature of these 300-tonne monsters and their 50-
60m blades that has highlanders up in arms.

And that's their habit of constantly shedding toxic microplastics and spreading
them far and wide.

Ben Borland reveals that littering the landscape with toxic plastic junk with
complete impunity, is yet another example of how the wind industry gets a free
kick on every environmentally harmful aspect of their subsidy-soaked
operations.

Wind farm fears as SNP ministers admit they don't monitor "toxic" leading edge
erosion

Energy minister Michael Matheson also admitted that no wind farm operators have
been fined for failing to maintain their turbines and there is no scheme in
place to monitor microplastic pollution.

A Scots Tory MSP has hit out after the SNP Government admitted it had no idea
how many of Scotland's 19,000 wind turbines may be releasing dangerous
chemicals.

There have been concerns for years about the environmental impact from the
erosion of microplastics from the colossal turbine blades, which are made with
fibreglass and epoxy resin.

One of the chemicals is called Bisphenol A, which has been linked with
fertility problems in humans and wildlife. Campaigners say a single turbine can
emit up to 62 kilos of microplastics annually, although this is disputed by the
renewables industry.

Highlands and Islands MSP, Donald Cameron, has attempted to find out more
information about the issue with a series of questions at the Scottish
Parliament.

In one, he asked the Scottish Government "how it currently monitors leading
edge erosion on wind turbines, and whether it has any plans to increase this
monitoring".

Energy minister Michael Matheson replied the SNP-Green administration "is not
responsible for taking action in this area".

Mr Matheson also said the Scottish Government "does not provide funding for
continued maintenance of wind turbines" and "has not issued any fines relating
to the failure to maintain wind turbines".

Finally, the Conservative MSP asked the "Scottish Government whether it has any
plans to conduct a study on the impact of microplastic pollution and toxic
compounds from wind turbines".

Once again, the minister replied in the negative. "The Water Framework
Directive does not currently include the requirement for the monitoring and
assessment of microplastic pollution and specifically Bisphenol A in the water
environment," he said.

Speaking to the Scottish Daily Express, Mr Cameron said: "The dangers of
microplastics and toxic substances from wind turbine erosion are well-
documented, so it's surprising that the SNP Government isn't even bothering to
monitor this.

"Despite their enthusiasm for windfarms, it appears that the SNP have washed
their hands of any potentially harmful effects wind turbine erosion might have
on the environment.

"The responsibility for wind turbine maintenance may lie with private
companies, but the SNP must at the very least monitor the state of Scotland's
turbines and sanction any companies that don't comply with safe upkeep.

"Otherwise we could end up facing an environmental hazard as a result of the
very same turbines that are supposed to be helping us tackle climate change."

From a reasoned site that says:

"We're not here to debate the wind industry, we're here to DESTROY IT!"

We have landfills in the ocean... on purpose?

You can burn tires in the ocean?

You can shred tires for recycling to make more tires in the ocean?

You liberals can do anything.

So... all cars are driven along the oceans?

"As micro-rubbers, they mainly end up in soil and water and, to a small extent,
in the air. And the amount of these particles in our environment is anything
but small, as Empa researchers have now calculated." phys.org

Pretty sure the "water" they're talking about is puddles and ponds and lakes
near roads.

So... as long as there's "other" pollutants in the form of micro-plastics and
rubbers, it's perfectly fine for turbine blades to pollute?

EVs need tires too, dumb ass.

Is tire tread "shavings" poisonous to anything?

So, as long as other products make micro-plastics, it's OK for wind turbine
blades to add to the micro-plastic pollution?

That's REAL pollution, unlike CO², which is not pollution at all. Is an over
abundance of Oxygen, pollution? Explain.
