Wind turbine repair tech is the fastest growing field because the giant bird vegomatics are so darn unreliable!

Since were talking about wind turbine engineers, I have a question. From one engineer to another....

On a recent trip between Chicago and Indianapolis, on a very windy day, I noted that the Wind Farm between Renselear and Lafayette was complete shut down. Sustained winds at probably 20 MPG with gust likely at 30-40. It was a tough drive in a pick up truck. I was anxious to see windmills generating MEGA-GOBS of energy as I approached the area on I-65. I was disappointed to find that EVERY windmill/turbine for as far as the eye could see in every direction was STOPPED, not turning.

I supposed it was because the wind was blowing too hard (it is the only nonsensical explanation that seemed plausible). Can anyone smarter than I explain for sure why none of the wind farm turbines were spinning.

(I’ll listen to the answer off the air)
