I know I should be outraged by something in the news today, so much choice, not sure what too pick. #decisionsdecisions

[Peter Clack @PeterDClack]

Tens of thousands of slabs of reinforced concrete weighing up to 1,000 tonnes are being abandoned in the ground as turbines hit the end of their working lives.

The reinforced concrete base of a typical 2-3 MW wind turbine can weigh anywhere from 400 to 800 tonnes. But the concrete foundations of even bigger turbines (5 MW+) can exceed 1,000 tonnes. As lifespans end these massive concrete monoliths are abandoned where they lie. This is an issue of significant contention.

In many jurisdictions, including Australia and the US, decommissioning regulations only require the operator to ensure the concrete foundation stays at a depth of 1 meter (approx. 3.3 feet) below the surface.

The remaining 3-plus metres of these steel-reinforced concrete fossils are typically left in the ground indefinitely. Over the decades, they can interfere with deep-soil hydrology or remain as a permanent industrial remnant in rural landscapes.

Contracts usually say operators are responsible for decommissioning. But the financial reality is complex. Bank guarantees or bonds set aside for removal (around €50,000 or $100,000 per turbine) are frequently far too low. Real-world estimates for total removal and site restoration can exceed $200,000 to $400,000 per unit.

If the cost of total removal ($200k–$400k) exceeds the bond set aside by the operator ($50k–$100k), there is a strong financial incentive for companies to declare bankruptcy . Or they sell the asset to a shell company as the turbine nears its end-of-life, leaving a landowner with the bill.

While the steel towers are more easily recyclable, their triple fibreglass blades are notoriously difficult to process and often end up in turbines blade graveyards.

The theoretical benefits from renewable technology are meaningless compared with the staggering environmental costs.

Woman on the left: Posted mean tweet. No bail. Quickly sentenced.

Man on the right: Rapist. Granted bail and released, went on to commit terrorism.

[Sophie Corcoran @sophielouisecc]

Lucy Connolly - White British woman - mean tweet - 30 months.

Hadush Kebatu - Illegal immigrant - child rape - 12 months.

Moussa Kadri - Muslim man - assault and wielding a knife and threatening to kill - suspended sentence

Ricky Jones - black man and labour councillor - calling for people to have their throats slit - not guilty

There is no denying we have a two tier justice system in the UK and these

None at all

The Labour government must realise that they are a one term government, there is no way they will get re elected, my worry is that they will use the time they have left to purposely destroy as much of our country as possible, whilst maximising the lining of their own pockets.

The BBC won’t call Hamas terrorists but they’ll happily refer to everyone at the Unite the Kingdom rally as “far-right”.

Peter Lynch was jailed for 32 months for shouting at police “You are protecting people who are killing our kids and raping them” and shouting “scum”

He was 61, with numerous serious health issues. He hung himself after 2 previous suicide attempts.

Ricky Jones is a free man.

[Rupert Lowe MP @RupertLowe10]

A testimony given by a rape gang survivor to our inquiry has been censored.

Disgraceful.

[Mac Wood @Askrigg_lad]

These two “men” have just been found guilty of raping a young girl.
The “judge” sentenced them each to 2.5 years in jail.
So, in the eyes of “British law”sending a silly tweet is more serious than raping a young girl!
What the hell is happening to our country?

[🙏🌧🌍 @godblesstoto]

‘Brutally murdered’ vs ‘lives lost’.

You cannot hate these hypocrites enough.

[Paul Golding @PaulGolding]

This is not an accident.
This is a calculated plan to replace us completely in our own lands.
Get ready to be an ethnic minority!

Islam didn’t spread through flowers and cuddles - it spread through violence and intimidation

It is one of the most brutal, imperialist and colonial movements that has ever existed

[Danny Tommo @RealDannyTommo]

We live in a country where the man who let our capital fall to knives and terror is knighted, and the man who dedicated his entire adult life to exposing grooming gangs that abuse children is thrown in jail.
One hid the truth.
One told it.
This country is upside down.
