What's in a large-scale wind turbine (you'll be surprised)

In keeping with our theme today of how miraculously clean and green the equipment involved in power generation from wind is, here from physicist John Droz is a listing of the chemical and construction components of a single 3-MW wind turbine.
   The list of ingredients includes 2 tons of "rare earth elements" which we know is an environmental health hazard in China, where the rare earth elements are mined, polluting air and water.
  And where does all that stuff go when the predatory wind power developers have sopped up their subsidy money and left town? (Still in possession, however, of lease agreements that mean they virtually own the land they leased...)
