Greetings:
I am thinking that these wind-generators are not all they are advertised to
be.
There is a massive farm on Interstate 10 through Southern California. On
many
(extremely) windy days, one might find as many as 35-40% of them not turning.

They are sprouting like weeds. Huge things. Today I passed several
miles-long wind generation farms along I-40. I noted that about every 10th
propeller
was not spinning. And it was a windy day, constant out of the SW. Do these
things have reliability problems, or are they just being installed and not
working yet? Anyone have a clue?
