The wind carries dust and particles that impact the blades and slowly chips off the paint and eventually the fiberglass, which includes some kind of resin
It’s not a particularly fast process though so i don’t think it’s a big concern, probably miniscule compared to the crazy amount of microplastics produced by vehicle tyres

Morbo doesn’t agree.
People get so pedantic about shitposts here. Jesus christ, people, chill.
I’m glad it’s pride month, because this post is gay.
Also fake, pretty sure the blades are made of fiberglass or some such.
Yeah, aren’t they more of a big (micro) plastic (producing) fan?
Do they really produce microplastics? Like more than a Doritos bag factory or something?

I’m a huge flaming fan.
Aren’t those mostly fiberglass composites?
“I’m a fiberglass wind turbine” is a better punchline
the tower is reinferced concrete. Only the blades have that issue
The tower is usually metal.
And how about unusually?
Well unusually it could be made of anything else, couldn’t it? Think about a windmill made of cocaine. That would be highly unusual.
