I generally provide something called "references" for what I say.
As I noted in the OP, the oil and gas hellhole Denmark had, as of 2022, 3,444 decommissioned wind turbines, 24 that haven't produced power since 2015 but are still "commissioned," along with, including those 24, 346 turbines that were dysfunctional for at least one full year, some them much longer, and 479 turbines that are clearly operating well below their design, with capacity utilization of less than 10%, and 248 that are operating at less than 5% capacity utilization.
With all these decommissioned and rotting in place turbines surely someone who claims that they are being recycled can point to an industrial facility where this activity is taking place on a scale commensurate with the high rate at which they fail.
It would aslo be useful to understand the processes used. Are the trucks used to haul these huge chucks of rusting steel away powered by wind charged batteries. Are the blast furnaces like the ones shown in the OP powered by solar - and no, cheap marketing bull about "offsets" will not be credited - or are they powered by a grid involving fossil fuel generated electricity?
Many of us, I'm sure, would love to hear about this facility so we can all evaluate it.
Talking about alternators does not imply that wind turbines are recycled, by the way. One can put an alternatior in one's trunk and drive to a metals recycling shop. No cranes are required.
May I suggest that once the antinuke community here contact this guy, who can't seem to get the wind company to come and haul away the wind turbines they put on his land. It seems no one will own up to having responsibility for them:
The wind turbines on his Colorado farm are 20 years old. Who’s going to take them down?

As wind farms flood the Eastern Plains, the renewable energy alternative is now running into the same concerns that originally plagued the fossil fuel industry
I've been asked to accept that wind turbines are all recycled because automotive alternators are. I'm used to antinukes claiming I'm stupid and uninformed, but if they're bright and super informed they can certainly do what I do and provide
references, no?
I've looked briefly through the scientific and engineering literature, and while I see lots of theory on how wind turbines might be recycled some day, I see no information suggesting they
are being recycled.
The pictures all over the internet show lots of rotting abandoned wind industrial parks. Are they all historical because of this marvelous recycling practice?
Do get back to me on this...
I can't wait to find out how wind turbines, while having failed to address climate change, are nonetheless immune from ending up in landfills.
Do tell...
Have a nice Sunday afternoon.
