What happens when these wind generators are no longer of their admittedly inefficient use?
Who'll remove them?
Junk dealers? Will doing so be profitable enough for them to bother? Or, will they simply be a corroding blight?
Ever been in one? They're huge, plus require maintenance.
I can see some dystopian future with people living wretchedly in them, before they fall down on their own accord.
Yep, that may become a problem. I know of some that are standing but no longer functional and the owner has no interest in spending a very large amount of money to remove them. Junk dealers are highly unlikely to spend the money to get a couple of cranes out to do the removal. More importantly, they don't have the knowledge, rigging or tooling to do the disassembly.
Yep been in them, been on top of them. Long climb, especially in the ones that do not have climb assist.
Maybe lease them out as deer stands?
