[@melin1969]

wind power is always advertised as green and the way to go but i got to wonder how much the average wind turbine costs v how long they last along with the impact of making them and renewing them compared to other methods of generation

[@jexiagalleta4712]

from what i've seen, these models of turbine are old, and are being replaced with larger, more modern and more effective turbines.

[@infinitelyexplosive4131]

Luckily, there's tons of research into this exact topic that you could look up

[@conniedziepak6760]

Excuse me. This is first demolition video I've seen on this site. Could you explain why the wind turbines are being demolished ? Thanks.

[@Rms-titanic400]

It too old maybe

[@remmiemax3624]

Explosions ..very satisfying! I'm glad I not have to run the Combine at harvest....hope ALL the pieces are picked up.

[@pierobarbagallo2188]

😊

[@jacobsaintlilypiroblox9286]

Why does every turbine that exploded has a black cloth on the bottom?

[@rearspeaker6364]

to catch the debris from the explosion at the base.

[@edmondmiesch9104]

Now that is satisfying!!!

[@Michael18751]

POV: your pedestal fan falls at 3:00 AM

[@1010tesla]

I am curious why this is the most economical thing to do? can a new turbine not be installed on tower? I hope its not something stupid such as the government will subsidize a new wind turbine but not an upgrade.

[@stevekunde123]

Ding!!! We have a winner!!!

[@jexiagalleta4712]

if you read the description of the video, it states "The Wind Farm Owner inspected all twenty-four (24) units and approved them for the re-powering program using wind turbine generators of *larger capacity.*" they're being removed in order to make space for larger and more effective turbines

[@danchang9976]

No. More than likely they are up powering the site.

[@flatiron53]

This is one of the coolest channels on KZbin.

[@1013AP]

Yeah get this dude to 100K subs

[@88997799]

They sure do tear a lot of those windmills down. Not so green after all. How much crop was wasted when it fell on it?

[@jonbicho9840]

No matter what it is, turbines, buildings or bridges, I never tire of watching CDI do their job.

[@jerrellkull5347]

A bunch of copper hitting the dirt. Excellent job as always....

[@danyeager7561]

A short explanation of why these things need to come down would be interesting. Also, are there no reusable parts on these turbines? Can all that fiberglas be chopped up and recycled?

[@JohnShinn1960]

Did you have to pay for the damaged crops? 👍👍

[@tashalynn29]

Probably the turbine owner/operators give them an 'allowance', ot they write it off taxes.

[@ChrisHplusland]

Proof of the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Nice work

[@1013AP]

Can you do Oregon State Stadium implosion?

[@staym925]

So what do they do about all the concrete that is poured in the ground for the support, when I seen one being built, was huge, with so much rebar.

[@gus473]

👍🏼 Definitely one of your best videos, especially the audio! Wow!

[@edwardelliott5756]

Love the shot where the turbine falls right in front of the camera! It’s wonderful to see those eyesores get blown away.

[@craigw.miller9820]

Did I hear Mark doing the countdown? Great Job.

[@robertmailhos8159]

Those wind turbines are not as dromatic as the smoke stacks you bring down but still they are cool to watch coming down

[@wormrose01]

CDI videos keep getting better!

[@ChrisB257]

Another fine professional job :)

[@summerbreeze7066]

Is it true that all this debris was then carted off to landfills? For example The farm of 44 turbines recently retired at the average age of 18 years old. In October of 2016, Xcel Energy plans to dynamite the turbines and cart off the waste to a landfill.

[@becplumbing660]

The towers go to the scrapyard and are cut up for scrap. The only thing that goes to the landfill are the blades

[@florabee9283]

Shot from drone and a couple gopro shots would be awesome too!

[@MayaPosch]

RIP the crops that got flattened by those turbines.

[@samskeeter1]

Yeah if i was the farmer I'd be telling them to come back between harvest and the next planting.

[@MightyMuffins]

Usually the farmers get compensated for that. But also the farmers get a yearly cut too from the companies allowing them to put the turbines on their farms in the first place. Nice win win.

[@paullacey2999]

RIP the turbine too..😉

[@toddatglencovewoodworks]

The crop cost is very minor compared to the potential damage to the combine head from the scattered pieces from the explosion.

[@warbirdwf]

Some context to these video's would be helpful and appreciated. Example, why these windmills are being removed. Nice video.

[@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC]

I'm glad you like the video! We usually try to give our viewers as much information on our projects as possible. Sometimes, we aren't allowed to.

[@Manoffire260]

It says in the description that they are being removed to be replaced with higher output/more efficient units. It was done to salvage the foundation.

[@warbirdwf]

@@TheLoizeauxGroupLLC I understand that in some situations, you can't share specifically why something was imploded. But, bringing down wind turbines? Are they outdated? Broken? They're being replaced with more modern versions? Often times when I watch one of your videos, I google the site to understand the history of whatever is being imploded. Anyway, I was just making a suggestion as other viewers probably would enjoy more background as well. 😉

[@HugoHugunin]

1:55 Now you're just showing off! 👍😉👍

[@gus473]

🤣 Could be, yet I like it! 😎✌🏼

[@oneshotme]

I bet the farmer wasn't too happy Enjoyed the video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

What, no drone following it down ;) As usual, fantastic footage, love the quick shots of the base...

[@JK-vu6hl]

the most beautiful sight i have ever seen.

[@jacobsaintlilypiroblox9286]

[@Damien.D]

Very graceful fall. Looks like a feather.

[@DonVitoCS2workshop]

This is amazing! The poor crops though :'(

[@ericdanielski4802]

Nice video.

[@damienalicea8696]

0:45 I can hear metal cable snapped. 1:54 excellent close-up.

[@T0rturephil3]

Love that they fell perfectly flat on their propellers.

[@jonathantan2469]

Sounds like it'll be easier to cut up with them lying face-down flat (almost) on the ground... If it's on the other side, you could have a problem. Since the generator housing can be larger than a city bus, parts of the blades that didn't snap off when it hit the ground could be suspended at a height roughly several floors up...

[@derbabo1237]

Did you had to pay extra for those crops? Nice Video!

[@cullenmiller8170]

So much for green energy. All those blades go in the landfill. Nice job on felling those ugly things.

[@becplumbing660]

The towers go to the scrapyard and are cut up for scrap, the blades go to the landfill however

Felling on farmer's crops? Now CDI has to pay the farmers for the damages and loss of the crops. More likely $2,500+ values!

Watches one wind turbine in a group being demolished. Says that green energy doesn’t work. Watches smoke stacks and cooling towers being demolished. Says nothing.

awesome! i like it!

[@mikegrantham7440]

Good. Thise eyesores on the landscape need to be demolished and never rebuilt.

[@vaughnbluejr5960]

I wonder why the demolition was done when the farmer had a good stand of corn rather than waiting until after harvest. I hope you compensated the farmer for the loss of his crop.

[@Mboy245]

Yes they were compensated

[@stevekunde123]

Booom!!!!!! And off to the landfill… None of it can be recycled and they only get kickbacks on new builds.

[@snagger2810]

All of it will get recycled apart from the blades. As of later this year 100% of turbines will be recyclable. Recyclable blades have been in the making for years but everyone is quick to comment on 'another one for the landfill". You really need to research this as you'll be really surprised at what gets made from recycled turbine parts.

[@ramdas363]

@@snagger2810 Why are the towers destroyed anyway? They can't be very old yet, 10-30 years at most.

[@windkraftusa_]

the funny thing, this happened half an hour from me! i’ve taken videos of the fully repowered turbines!!

[@killerkane1957]

Why are these being demolished? You have several videos. Worn out? Never worked as advertised? What gives? Curious. Not a fan of wind turbines. Eyesore. Ahhh. Being replaced. Ugly.

[@arneheins7716]

They are an old outdated generation and are being replaced by more powerful ones. Instead of having 30+ of them, there will be around 20, which will still generate more electricity. Obviously newer ones cannot always be installed on existing towers, as newer models often require higher towers, but foundations can often be re-used. Some older models get disassembled and sold (either to be used elsewhere or as spare parts).

[@Nonsensevent]

Good ideas ;)

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

Ah yes, clean green energy!!! lol

[@mikejenkins9135]

Pretty bad that the environments going to have to eat it for the simple fact you can't recycle fiberglass

AMused by how many of the turbines in the backjground are not spinning.

[@IrnBru18]

A step in the right direction.

[@DanBader]

Lol. Watching the first half of the video thinking, dang these folks need to step up their game! Why the heck aren't there some go-pros all around the impact site and up close views of the blast. Second half...'chef's kiss'. One more camera angle that would be awesome on your next one would be looking up at the turbine as it falls down, from just off the impact site.

[@theamerican7080]

They all need to come down- permanently.

[@Agrostar631]

Why? Why? Can't you just dismantle it and sell it? Is there no market for it In Amerika. So many questions.
