Yes you can remelt plastic into bricks. You can even extrude it into 3D printer filament and make stuff. Heck it can even be turned into fuel.
But the article is talking about general waste. Joe Schmoe is not going to sort plastic by type and 3D print anything or pressure cook it into burnable fuel. That shit goes straight into a landfill.

Sitting in your 1800sqft single home (built in the 80s so insulation is a bit meh) in the winter, watching Netflix with the fjord outside and your electric car charging in the garage is surprisingly energy intensive.
Sure you got a couple heat pumps installed 5 years ago, but it still sucks up juice to heat the place up
Everyone wants cheap power, but not in their back yard. The landscape is for instagram posted peak hikes in nature as every good norwegian does, not for windmills. They kinda ruin it visually speaking.

Some places in Norway has wind turbines on top of hills and the noise drives local people mad. Soundproofing the house is good but you also want to enjoy the silence in your yard as well. These are rural locations so people are used to the silence there. Kinda why they moved there.
The natural environment is also a big part of the ”people soul” in Norway, so messing up the mountains with windmills is a trauma.
Ideally it should look a bit like this outside your door: https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brudeferd_i_Hardanger
Maybe with a grocery store for convenienxe sake, but kinda hidden to so it does not stand out.
Ofc land based mills are cheaper to both build and maintain than off shore ones. Which is where much of the problem lies.

Are they noisy? Windmills tend to make noise when in operation. The big ones have this annoying pulsating swoosh when the blades move.
Natural noises like running water or wind through trees is ok. But any sort of rythmic noise from say a spinning turbine quickly becomes unbearable since you can’t help but hyperfocus on the annoyance

Sure you can make rope, paper and all kinds of stuff from the cannabis plant, but did you know you can also get high from it?
