One article on wind turbines, mentions that the design
is all about "number of flexures". And the blades are only
good for about 100 million flexures. Each rotation counts
as a flexure for the blade, it is constantly being worked
(and ruined). Same goes for the tower, it takes a lot of
abuse too.
And of course these exotic composited can't be recycled.
Green aren't they?
