Engineering with Rosie is a clear and insightful channel focused on renewable energy generation, especially wind. Rosie Barnes is a professional in the latter field and has more subject matter expertise than the majority of the YouTube enviro space. I find her content refreshing. It is also nice to see women in STEM (in general) and especially spearheading their own niche in science communication.
This video discusses some of the reasons it isn’t economical or necessary to recycle wind turbine blades. There are several unique challenges. Barnes remarks that it’s worth finding a way to efficiently recycle wind turbine blades in general, but it would be more of a PR move than a strictly scientific one.
I found this a reasoned and balanced approach to the subject. Since Barnes is an engineer and not just a presenter, she is focused more on real-world feasibility than high-level pipe dreams. While useful in producing a vision, the latter can bloat project implementation. The topic speaks to the difficulties of “letting perfect be the enemy of good” and of science communication to a decidedly unscientific audience in general, including to intellectuals who think they’re up with it.
