LAILA HARRAK: And a possible breakthrough in sustainable
energy.
A Danish company says it has cracked
an issue with the blades on wind turbines like these.
The blades usually are incinerated or end up
in a landfill when they reach the end of their lifetime
because they're made with materials
like fiberglass that are extremely
difficult to break down.
Well, now the Danish company Vestas
says it has discovered a chemical technology that
could eventually be used to recycle
the old blades into new ones.
One expert says it could be a game changer.
