When I was in high school we got to go on a field trip to a wind farm. They had one stopped on a kinda windy day so they could show us it starting up. Watching the blades rotate on their axis, then seeing this massive turbine slowly start to spin, was so fucking cool.
This man has a point. It would be much more effective if the wind is always blowing into the turbines. That sounds impossible, but you could simply place the turbine on a car. Whenever driving, there is lots of wind, and it always comes from the front of the car (unless you put the car in reverse, but that is not a state that the car is in for a long time).
/s (although I have had to genuinly explain to people why this does not charge the battery of an electric vehicle).
When the wind blows the other way, you are supposed to plug all your appliances in backwards to trick the power grid into going the right direction again. Duh.
I'm only an actress and even I managed to figure it out, who needs butchers for wind turbines anyways.
