I've read some of the articles in scientific journals citing huge death tolls from birds flying into wind turbine blades on a daily basis. (And several joggers in my city report being "grossed out" by the number of bird carcasses that litter the running path located near the mayor's favorite "green power generation" project.) But I've never seen any estimated tolls for the entire U.S. and how the death toll would average out for the megawatts generated.

Thanks for the excellent informative responses!

(Nobody answered the question posed -- which is actually very common on Yahoo Answers -- but a lot of helpful information was posted nonetheless on related issues.)

Ultra-green Denmark admits it has no idea what to with a worrisome mountain of old and broken wind turbine blades. The composite material can’t be recycled.
So now what.

@bibasa. You did read the story. The things are made of fiberglass that can't be recycled or dumped in landfills
@KP Who makes road out of fiberglass

wind turbine blades rotation problem
the leading edge should rotate the opposite direction of the wind direction but what happened with me is that the trailing edge is doing that
it is for producing electricity

Hi, all
I am just wandering how to find a distributor of wind turbine blades. Situation like this, we company manufactures small wind turbine blades. At present, we have many customers at home, but a big zero for our market abroad. Does anyone works in this field? Or do you have friends engaged in wind energy products?
I would be appreciated if someone could give me suggestions.

Im curious is anyone has a small wind turbine installed at their house. the reason I ask is because Im looking for someone who is interested in a little project. I'd like to make additional wind turbine blades for other home made wind turbines. I would like you to make a simple mold of the turbine, in return I could send you a duplicate...perhpas made of carbon-fiber resin. anyway, please respond if youre interested. I live in michigan by the way. ~ Ryan
