Few of the hundreds of thousands of wind turbines already built will make it past 17 years in full working order.
The several billions of solar panels might make it to 20 years before they too also succumb to the laws of physics, nature and unavoidable decay. This is only a hint of the staggering mountains of recyclable waste lying ahead as exploding production just carries on regardless of the ultimate landfill pileup quagmire.
Colossal artificial forests of legacy turbines and solar panels will ultimately stop working and need costly replacements. Rusting and decaying offshore turbines in harsh marine environments are a perfect example of this cycle of decay.
What will the world do with the 7-8 billion solar panels already in environmental decay? What about the 1.3 million strong global turbine gridlock—so far? The world already faces an estimate of 43 million tons of decommissioned wind turbine blades alone—by the headlong rush of Net Zero in 2050. This small portion of the emerging e-waste catastrophe is the equivalent in weight to 215,000 locomotives.
Super-strength turbine blades the size of 747 airliners are made from almost indestructible high-strength composites designed to survive decades of brutal weather and notoriously difficult to recycle. They were built to last, but not to disappear.
They were meant to last 20 to 24 years before wearing out. But the 150,000 to 200,000 turbines built between 1990 and 2010 are already at the end of their working lives. Each lofty structure weighs 200 to 400 metric tonnes on average, of steel, concrete and composite plastics, metals and rare earths. Who will foot the bill to put these carcasses to rest forever in scattered graveyards?
Burying dead blades is the only solution, even in regions with abundant space like the US. Several European nations, such as Germany and the Netherlands, have actively banned this practice.
Renewables or bust? Ironic, isn't it.
Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, the Food Professor, joins HOC Committee for his input on the study of Food Security in the Face of Global Instability.
During his address, Sylvain made the following recommendations to Committee:
1) Make food affordability a formal lens for federal policy making. Before introducing new regulations, taxes, or programs affecting the food sector, government departments should be required to assess their impact on food affordability and food system competitiveness. Canadians deserve to know how public policy affects the cost of food before decisions are made.
2) Launch a national review of internal trade barriers affecting food. Canadians often speak about food sovereignty and local food systems, yet we continue to tolerate rules that make it unnecessarily difficult to move food, labor, and products across provincial boundaries. Improving the flow of food within Canada would strengthen resilience, increase competition, and lower costs without spending a dollar of additional public money.
3) Establish measurable national food security benchmarks and publish annual scorecards. We cannot manage what we do not measure. Canada should track indicators such as food affordability, domestic processing capacity, investment levels, productivity growth, food insecurity rates, and supply chain resilience.
Recall that when allegations were made ~18 months ago that fentanyl crossing from Canada to the US was a problem, the Liberal government first denied it, then launched Potemkin border security measures
- announcements that thousands of new border guards would be hired, but they weren't
- leasing exactly two helicopters with no sensors that would patrol a tiny section of the border a few hours per day.
Then they declared it all solved. The PM even tweeted goofily about the helicopters.
The problem for the Liberals, and now for Canada, is that the US has far more border patrol personnel, better intelligence, and a much more serious perspective on their homeland defence. They know what's happening. They're looking for prevention and enforcement action on Canada's part, and all they get is @gary_srp, someone with his own terror associations.
PM @MarkJCarney has granted federal managers arbitrary powers to ignore ‘Buy Canadian’ policy, records show. New reasons to bypass Canadian contractors include “administrative burden,” according to @TBS_Canada.

Two years ago today, 12-year-old Jocelyn Nungaray’s body was discovered after she was murdered by two violent illegal aliens who were allegedly Tren de Aragua gang members.
Her murderers were apprehended and released by the Biden Administration just weeks before Jocelyn’s life was taken.
On this day, we’re reminded of why we must continue to fight to get heinous criminals out of our nation. May God bless the Nungarays and all of our Angel Families.
A coalition of LGBTQ activists, Communists, socialists, Antifa, illegal immigrants, Sharia supporters, and Jihadists united at a “Stop Islamophobia” rally in the UK today.
All working to undermine Western civilization.
Deport them all?
A. Yes
B. No
A San Francisco judge freed a violent convict, fearing prison was "too hard."
He then murdered an elder.
Should we impeach and jail lenient judges?
A. Yes

🚨 BREAKING: The House Leader of the NDP, Heather McPherson, calls Elon Musk a Nazi & for him to be jailed.
THIS IS AN ELECTED CANADIAN MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT.
Here’s what Elon is guilty of:
✅ Starlink to 3rd world countries ignored by every telecom
✅ Restoring internet to Ukraine in the first days of the Russian invasion
✅ Cut the cost of space launches by 90%
✅ Forced the global auto industry to electrify
✅ Co-founded OpenAI
Canada has reached the point where the second ranking NDP official can’t distinguish between a Nazi & the most successful entrepreneur of all time.
If this is the standard for House Leader, what does the back bench look like?
Een antisemitische miljonair gaat eten in een chic restaurant. Een Joodse man met een keppeltje komt naast hem zitten. Zodra de miljonair hem ziet, roept hij de ober en zegt:
“Op mijn rekening: serveer aan iedereen in het restaurant het duurste gerecht van de kaart, behalve aan die Jood.”
De ober doet wat hem gevraagd wordt en iedereen krijgt een luxueuze maaltijd. Vervolgens staan alle gasten op om de miljonair te bedanken — ook de Joodse man.
Dat irriteert de miljonair. Hij vraagt wat het duurste dessert is en laat dat aan iedereen serveren, behalve aan de Jood. Opnieuw bedankt iedereen hem hartelijk, inclusief de Jood.
Woedend bestelt hij daarna de duurste wijn voor alle gasten, behalve voor de Jood. Wederom bedanken alle aanwezigen hem, en opnieuw doet de Jood mee.
Uiteindelijk ontploft de miljonair van woede.
“Waarom blijf jij mij bedanken?” schreeuwt hij. “Jij bent de enige die helemaal niets heeft gekregen!”
De Joodse man glimlacht en antwoordt:
“Omdat ik de eigenaar van dit restaurant ben. Hartelijk dank!” 😄🍷💰

Mark Carney's Liberal government risks wiping out over 100 years of vital crop and soil data by closing the Indian Head research farm.
This ideological decision risks Canada's food security and hurts hard-working farm families.
Only Conservatives are ALWAYS on the side of farmers.

CBC and the liberal government brainwashed the stupid people of Canada.
Not all Canadians hate America, in fact many Canadians love the United States of America
We hate the idiots destroying our country

Canada is risking USMCA for very little benefit from China.
75% of Canada’s exports go to the United States.
A fraction goes to China.
Why are we jeopardizing our most important trade relationship for a deal that offers so little in return?
Will Canadians wake up before the bill comes due? 🇨🇦
Chants of "send them back" rings around the European Parliament today as MEPs voted overwhelmingly for tougher immigration policies, paving way for "deportation hubs" to remove en masse.
Ex Primo ministro dell'Australia Julia Gillard:
"Ai musulmani che chiedono la legge della Sharia è stato chiesto di lasciare l'Australia mercoledì perché l'Australia vede i musulmani bigotti come terroristi, e ogni moschea deve rivolgersi ai musulmani affinché cooperino con noi in questo processo."
"Tutti i musulmani che sono emigrati in Australia dovrebbero cercare di cambiare se stessi per adattarsi al nostro paese. Non aspettarti che noi australiani cambiamo.
Se non ci riescono possono lasciare l'Australia.
Molti australiani hanno paura che possiamo offendere una certa religione.. ma prometto ai cittadini australiani che tutto ciò che viene fatto è per migliorare l'Australia e il suo popolo.
Qui parliamo inglese - non arabo, urdu, nessuna etnia, quindi se vuoi restare nel nostro paese, dovresti imparare a parlare inglese.
In Australia crediamo in Gesù che è il nostro Dio e in Dio crediamo. Semplicemente perché crediamo e aderiamo al cristianesimo, non a qualsiasi altra religione, ed è per questo che troverete ovunque blasfemia di Dio e libri religiosi.
Se avete obiezioni, potete lasciare l'Australia e andare in qualsiasi altra parte del mondo.
L'Australia è il nostro paese, e la nostra cultura.
Non seguiamo la tua religione ma rispettiamo i tuoi sentimenti, quindi se vuoi leggere il Corano ed esibirti namaz per favore non usare altoparlanti e non leggere ad alta voce.
Per favore, non recitate il Corano o pregate nelle nostre scuole, uffici o luoghi pubblici.
Puoi farlo a casa tua o in moschea non ci interessa.
"Se hai un problema con la nostra bandiera nazionale, il nostro inno nazionale, la nostra religione, il nostro stile di vita - per favore lascia l'Australia in questo preciso momento e non tornare mai più."
