The river town where they go insteadA bridge of bladesYet to arriveOutside Casper, pieces of turbine blades cut through were lowered by a loader into a trench for years. Now, what they are being used for instead of being buried under the ground, is to make cement powder. And this transition is worth noting.The Casper Regional Landfill took its first decommissioned blades in the spring of 2019. Even nested, one blade fills about 44 cubic yards, or roughly three cement mixer trucks worth of space.Why do the blades have to be cut at all? Blades built to come apart chemically are already turning on real machines, which changes the arithmetic thirty years out.
