The firm collects and repurposes mid-sized, standalone wind turbines ranging from 400 to 900 kilowatts. While wind energy is a great source of clean power for the U.S., scientists are still trying to figure out what to do with old turbines. Instead of dumping outdated wind turbines in landfills, companies are exploring ways to reuse them and other renewable energy products, per a recent report by CleanTechnica.
