Recently I was driving through West Texas, home to thousands of large wind turbines. We had been on the road for an hour and it had been quite windy the whole time. We came upon an array of these turbines. I was admiring their size and elegance when an odd feature struck me.
None of them were turning. No one. They were pointed in every direction yet none were generating electricity.
As a private pilot, I'm well aware of the vagaries of wind above the ground, but dead still? No wind at all in West Texas? Unlikely. I'm looking but so far have not found a reasonable explanation.
