“Green Energy” Firm Sued for Turning State Into Wind Turbine Waste Dumping Ground
Texas filed a lawsuit against a wind turbine recycling company, alleging it illegally dumped thousands of turbine blades and parts across the state.
Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Thursday that the state is suing Global Fiberglass Solutions, Inc. and several affiliated entities. According to the lawsuit, the company was contracted by multiple firms to break down and recycle wind turbine components, but instead dumped roughly 3,000 turbine blades — or 487,000 cubic yards of solid waste — at two disposal sites.
“Illegal disposal of wind turbines hurts our land and will never be permitted under my watch,” Paxton said in a statement. “Just because the radical left calls something a ‘green industry’ does not give any company a free pass to harm Texas countryside, break our laws, and leave Texans to deal with the negative impacts.”
Under Texas law, recycling facilities must process at least 75% of the material they receive each year to avoid being classified as waste disposal sites. State officials allege Global Fiberglass Solutions has never met that threshold since beginning operations in 2017.
Furthermore, the company allegedly signed an “Agreed Order” with the state in 2022, pledging to stop accepting waste and to obtain the required permits. Investigators claim Global violated that order by continuing to accept new shipments and ultimately abandoning the disposal sites altogether.
The attorney general’s office is seeking civil penalties ranging from $50 to $25,000 per day for each violation, and says total penalties could exceed $1 million.
Global Fiberglass Solution did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
Local residents had raised concerns for years about the abandoned turbine parts, warning that the piles sit as dens for rattlesnakes and breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
Wind turbine blades are typically made from a composite of fiberglass, wood and plastics, which are difficult to recycle. Researchers estimate more than 40 million metric tons of turbine waste could accumulate in landfills worldwide by 2050.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT
******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********
(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/
