Figure 1. This figure provides an estimate of the maximum and minimum tonnage of EOL blade material for existing wind blades installed up to (but not after) 2019 in entire world (global), the U.S. and Europe (European Union, plus U.K.). The maximum scenario is based on the shortest service life,15 years, and the higher 14 t/MW blade conversion factor. The minimum scenario is based on the longest service life of 30 years and the lower 10 t/MW blade conversion factor. The predictions are based on total blade mass.

There have been a number of journal papers and magazine articles published recently that have addressed the issue of wind turbine blade “waste.” Much of the evidence presented in these articles is felt to be too speculative in the opinion of the authors. Work undertaken by the Re-Wind Network team has raised six key issues for discussion of blade end of life (EOL). These include how to define wind turbine end of l

On a chilly morning on Jan. 22, 2021, Joan Gentry Patadal died peacefully in the arms of her beloved daughter, Beatrice Patadal Pattarroyo. After the past 40 years, Joan bravely faced multiple catastrophic illnesses with humor, intelligence, understanding, and courage, with a positive will to live.
In 1950, Joan was born to James and Beatrice Vanderhoop Gentry on the Island; she was the baby of the family. Joan’s father was in the Air Force, and was stationed at Stewart Air Force Base in New York, and in Germany, where he retired with the family, moving to Oklahoma in the winter and Martha’s Vineyard in the summer. The family eventually moved to the Island year-round. During the winter in Oklahoma, Joan had piano lessons, and her teacher recognized her talents. She entered Joan in the state championship, and Joan won second in the state.
