Darcy Richardson had big plans for a garden patio enveloped by flowers in her backyard in this little community south of Rochester.
She gave up once the blades arrived.
Trucks dropped off 111 fiberglass turbine blades on the empty lot next door in 2020, haphazardly stacked to the edge of Richardson’s property. Almost four years later, the mountain of old wind parts — which is visible on Google Earth — is still there.
Some blades are cracked and stained. Locals say they draw feral cats and foxes and are a safety risk because kids climb on the junk.
They’re also ugly, ruining Richardson’s view, hurting property values and attracting the curiosity of seemingly everyone who drives the highway into town.
“After six months we were like ‘C’mon guys, what’s going on,’” said Richardson, once a master gardener. “After a year we were like ‘Seriously, this sucks.’” More
It’s “saving the planet”, so it’s cool guys.
Anyone who objects is a climate change denier and science heretic.
Hey, they would probably work as a security fence in front of Biden’s beach villas. Just stick em in the ground, or elsewhere, and what not.
Sacrifices must be made to save the environment, just NIMBY.
don’t worry. I’m sure they’ll biodegrade in a few thousand years or so.

MJA,
And don’t forget O’Bozo’s Hawaiian beach side mansion.
That’s a cause I would donate to, to transport and dump those windmill blades to the local DilcoCrat McMansions’ property lines.
I see a community project. take the blades and spell out “Michelle is a tranny” in an open field so it can be read from space.
Get some industrial-sized grinders that can chew up steel manhole covers and chop up the turbine blades. Then take them to a cement plant and burn them to help make cement. And screw the environmentalists and EPA officials if they don’t like it. They shouldn’t have allowed this to happen to begin with.
Haul them up to St Paul and light them on fire—I hear the first family enjoys the smell of smoke
Too bad this dose of reality isn’t enough to make the windmill crowd question the windmill fraud.
Simple fix:
Bring in the largest bulldozers that exist and crush them into chunks.
Shred the chunks in a portable recycling shredder.
Load the shredder fragments into trash hauling tractor trailers and haul them to that recycling facility in Ohio.
Charge those two asshole brothers who corruptly bought the property and scammed the city residents.
Those selling green energy should have a surcharge on their energy to cover the cost of clean-up. Of course, wing energy is already uneconomic without subsidies so we’re right back with government intervention picking losers as their winners.
Maybe they can make Walz out of em.
Will at least they aren’t chopping up a few hundred thousand eagles a year now. You know the bird that you can’t even pick up a feather from off the ground without risking jail time.
Unless you’re Indian without the dot.

That should be “Michael”, not “Michelle”.
