Sorry I was not clear while most of the wind turbine are recycled the blades are not. Currently almost all of the blades go to landfill as it is seen as a affordable solution.
There is on going work use the blades in creating "greener cement, they used about 100 blades

The vast majority are still going to land fill . https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-02-05/wind-turbine-blades-can-t-be-recycled-so-they-re-piling-up-in-landfills
A better solution would be to replace the thermoset resin used in the blades with thermoplastic resin. Then you just just melt the resin and make new blades out of the old ones.https://earth911.com/eco-tech/are-recyclable-wind-turbine-blades-on-the-horizon/
I am all for greener energy but I do not want to replace one problem with another one later on.

Made $1,428,26 and told to cough up $2,652,899 I think if that is what you want your wishing for the wrong thing.
[QUOTE]"Fewer than 0.01 per cent of all products sold on Amazon received a counterfeit complaint from customers," said Mehta in a blog post. "Those complaints were investigated for accuracy and acted upon as appropriate."[/QUOTE]
That still amount to hundred of thousands of knockoffs
The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly paradoxical idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.

Someone is leaving after 10 years who has access to "a trove of confidential documents" and you still allow totality free access to them on their last day of employment. At best they should have been on gardening leave with the very least they should have done is restrict their access to files towards the end of their notice.
Intel may have "some impressive forensic capabilities" but it fails very much on document control.
New cars and vans powered wholly by petrol and diesel will not be sold in the UK from 2030, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said.
But some hybrids would still be allowed, he confirmed.
Which to me mean if you have a petrol or diesel engine charging a battery and this powering electric motors then this can still be sold.

You can read more about how public and private US universities compare here. According to College Board, published tuition fees for 2018/19 at state colleges are an average of US$10,230 for state residents, and $26,290 for everyone else. This compares to an average of $35,830 at private non-profit colleges.
Was their idea that those that read Romanian ,Polish, Somali, Simplified Chinese, Arabic, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi, Turkish and Urdu could not understand English, while those you speak French, Spanish, German and Italian prwhere smart enough to Read English. This is a terrible way to go about designing anything and those languages should have been built in!

What is the total bandwidth that it proves and how many simultaneous connections can it handle.
I get the feeling your not going to park on of these over a large city and then have it provide coverage for all of it. Could be useful to cover a large area of sparse population, eg parts of Scotland.
