Default OT Knackered wind turbine

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?
