And a little bit of payback....
KrazyKat42says...Why don't they just loosen the bolts at the base?
BSRsays...That's no fun.

newtboyjokingly says...Are you volunteering to remove the last one?

Bojeebeessays...Wish I could say I was surprised that they aren't detaching and re-using parts that can be re-used prior to demolition.
eric3579says...But you CAN say they are reusing parts.
From YouTube description..
" CDI’s crew felled the 90 Units in two (2) mobilizations to the site, permitting the Wind Farm Owner to complete salvage of blades and drive-train elements from some of the wind turbines to provide replacement parts for similar Units they operate at other wind farm locations."
@1:47 you can see some of the turbines in the background without blades.
(edit) random comment i found regarding this... "The wind farm was built in 2006 and had a total output of 90MW. The 90 units will be replaced with 86 General Electric Units with a total capacity 0f 235MW."

jimnmssays...What does end of life mean? Are they not capable of producing electricity or something? It's like people who buy a new, more fuel efficient car thinking they're doing the envoronment a favor, but fail to realize that most of the environmental pollution from a car is from building it.
