That feels like a disingenuous take. If the composites in wind turbine blades are an environmental problem, then so is nuclear waste and so are the semiconductors in solar panels.

Wind turbines spread microplastics always. Coal spread radioactivity and CO2 always. Nuclear spreads radioactivity very rarely. The semiconductors are just rocks basically so not a problem (there are other components that might be, but the semiconductors certainly isn't the issue).
