Me neither, I'd be interested to hear more. I understand that 25 years is their lifespan. There was an interesting HN submission recently that discussed the problem of what to do with the blades once they reach EOL. Obviously they are very large and very hard to recycle due to the materials they are made from - a problem that increases with scale of course.

Like everything, I'm sure turbine blade tech will iterate. I recall hearing once that solar panels weren't viable because they didn't last long enough to recoup the energy cost it took to build them. I don't believe this is the case any more though?
