As much as wind turbines are great for producing clean energy, disposing of them when the time comes can be challenging.

Land-based wind turbines currently produce 10% of the United State's electricity, according to American Clean Power, an industry group. The vast majority of those are built on private land.

The Australian renewables sector is hoping to grab a bigger share of global investment if US President Donald Trump makes good on his promise to ban offshore wind turbines in the United States.
