The contracts I read said exactly what I said. So unless there has been some retroactive legislation to change this, it is still true for the landowners with 20 year old turbines.

I live in a wind farm area. They suck. They're ugly to boot. Most of them rarely get used. None of them get used to full potential.
The contracts the land owners sign makes the wind turbines the property of the landowner in 30 years. 30 years is the expected life of the turbines here. They are costly to remove once defunct. The land owners will be saddled with that expense. Yet, many they allowed it because they expected to die befor the 30 years is over and will have gained all the income from them. They knowingly left the problem for future generations to clean up.
The companies who built the wind farms should have to pay to clean them up by putting a portion of the profits into escrow for the ckeanup.
