Wind turbines usually last for around two decades. Wind turbine blades can't be recycled so they wind up in landfills or get incinerated. The latter disposal method obviously releases GHGs & probably creates a bunch of possibly toxic by-products.
Down to Earth – France 24@DownToEarth

2/5 It’s not just Denmark. Across Europe, nearly 52,000 tonnes of blades are set to be decommissioned every year by 2030, potentially generating waste along the way. Here’s the hitch: wind turbines are not fully recycled @VDekimpe

@thetimes What a legacy George Osborne’s Cons & Balls’ Labour left. 🇬🇧is an outlier among peers in that investors & pensions avoid investing in their home country. Investors as a whole put at least half their money allocated to equities into equities domicile in their countries but not 🇬🇧.

The recent deadly crash at LaGuardia Airport was the inevitable culmination of long-standing safety concerns and shortsighted funding cuts—and it indicates that public safety is not a given for Americans, @juliettekayyem argues. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/03/…

@pooplius @globeandmail Lol. The only people out of touch are you Maple Maga accounts. Canadians are choosing to travel within Canada or anywhere but the US. Cope.

@Jason_Opines @globeandmail You'll spend about 5x more on a vacation outside North America. Maybe you're just out of touch with regular Canadians if you think everyone can afford an exotic vacation to make some political point.

James Melville 🚜@JamesMelville·
Back in 2003, Charles Kennedy, then leader of the Liberal Democrats stood against the US/UK war in Iraq. He initially faced intense vilification and ridicule for opposing the 2003 Iraq war, yet was later completely vindicated by the Chilcot Report. As the only major UK party leader opposing the invasion, he was heckled in Parliament, and The Sun called him a "spineless reptile" and a "snake" for his stance. But history now judges him well. We forget the lessons of history at our own peril.

@AscendedYield Maybe Charles III should dismiss Keir, grant Mark Carney British citizenship (again) and appoint him as Prime Minister of Canada and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Shared head of state and shared (competent) head of government.

Rudyard Kipling's warning against overweening power still stands. All empires fail in the end, usually through arrogance. 'For heathen heart that puts her trust In reeking tube and iron shard, All valiant dust that builds on dust, And guarding, calls not Thee to guard, For frantic boast and foolish word— Thy mercy on Thy People, Lord!'

@Gabriel_Pogrund Campaign finance laws in Britain need to be changed. But no party wants to do that because they all benefit from their own dodgy donors.

Trump is asking Europeans to send their warships to secure the strait of Hormuz. A quick reminder of what he’s done to Europe in the last 18 months : - He said the European Union was formed in order to screw the United States. - He floated the idea of taking Greenland by force - He launched a trade war against the EU - He described Europe as declining - He told the Norwegian Prime Minister that he no longer felt obliged to think about peace because he hadn’t received the Nobel Peace Prize. - He imposed sanctions on Thierry Breton and European anti-disinformation actors - He sanctioned a French judge from the International Criminal Court - He forced Europe into a deeply unfavorable trade deal - He cut military aid to Ukraine - He praised Vladimir Putin - He humiliated Volodymyr Zelensky live at the White House - He excluded Europeans from peace negotiations - He spends 24/7 insulting our leaders and our countries. - Elon Musk supported the German far right publicly on X - J.D. Vance sidelined the German Chancellor to meet the AfD during an election campaign - Marco Rubio called the German government a “tyranny” And now he expects European warships in the Strait of Hormuz? There is no alliance left.

Should this happen, the same people who not even a month ago were ridiculing the notion that it would ever come to that will enthusiastically support it, while continuing to insist that everything is going according to plan and indeed that the war is going even better than they ever would have dreamt.

For those with long memories of 1956, it is mildly amusing that the US is now begging Britain and France for help in unblocking what is, in effect, a shipping canal.

🚨NEW: The British right has begun to move away from a conservatism that naively venerates our long-rotten institutions, recognising the need for radicalism. As we re-examine our loyalties, we should not let the monarchy escape scrutiny. READ: pimlicojournal.co.uk/p/abolish-the-…

The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that we at @YouGov have developed a brand new model for projecting elections. We've called it the 'Looped Stratified Simulation' model, or LSS for short, and it is designed with more proportional electoral systems in mind.

@TheHubCanada @faliceemo In reality, support for it hasn’t budged a bit. The ‘Canadian’ right for whatever reason pines for Canada to be broken up.
