Wind energy could get even greener by replacing steel with wood

The wind energy industry may be on the verge of becoming even more environmentally friendly. Even though wind turbines create almost zero pollution once they are up and spinning, the processes of constructing and deconstructing them can still be fairly carbon-intensive and produce a lot of waste.
Some in the industry are now turning to wood as a potential solution to these challenges. Using wood instead of steel is more cost-effective, easier to dispose of and is responsible for fewer emissions.

Nothing is "easier to dispose of" than a 100% recyclable metal. Especially if the parts are things like the main structure because that structure is easy to put in to use with the next generation of wind power.

"bio degradable" means "the CO2 they captured gets released back into the atmosphere."
This is not carbon capture.
Do you guys need a green energy pundit? Because you are just regurgitating clickbait nonsense.

Hah!
