“…innovation as to new products, including medical breakthroughs”
And you didn’t even factor in the loss of our meritocracy. Now everybody gets a participation degree and our “engineers” will be mostly retards. But we will have “equity” and anybody who wants to be an engineer will just say the magic words “I are engineer”.

Sure, they are “repowered.” Give me hard data on life expectancy of towers, blades, and gearboxes.
“…end-of-life responsibilities are part of permitting”
Do you honestly believe any wind farm operators will stay in business until they machines wear out? They have crappy 20 year design life expectancies but many are failing way before that. Warranty claims are exceeding new orders for some companies. Is that sustainable? Government demolition of defunct machines once owned by Chapter 7 companies will be required. What good will those contracts be when the companies file Chapter 7?
You just want to believe in fairy dust. There is no way in hell this green wet dream can work.

True! The French are busy extending the life of their nuclear power plants. Due to Putin cutting off gas to Europe.
Even if conventional power plants (coal, gas) here were abandoned after they are decommissioned... That would be one small eyesore in a small space. Not likes hundreds of acres of abandoned hulking windmills. and their concrete bases.

Wonder if they can be ground up and used as filler in roadway material.

The border fence is a good idea.
Potential Illegal Alien: I heard they made the border wall out of blades!

It really hacks me off because no coal mine can be opened without the developer paying a huge surety bond up front that the land will be restored when the mine is closed decades in the future. No such surety bonds are paid for the monstrous wind turbines. Eventually, it will take a massive Superfund III to tear all the defunct wind turbine towers down.
Second that!~!!!
