I just did a heavy mathematical analysis of that turbine. I used abstract algebra and a calculator with lots of big buttons.
The shocking result: If there is no wind, this turbine will turn out 0 megawatts of power. Then it will light up 0 homes.
(Where do I go to get a government grant to study this further?)
We are so f’en stupid. If you want reliable power with minimal environment impact then build modern SAFE nuclear energy plants! Duh.

TVA’s Kingston Steam plant turns out 1,400 megawatts 24 hours a day.
