“California is nothing less than an open-air insane asylum.”
ROFL! Nice!
Is the roof-mount bracket option included? (So you can charge the car’s battery while you drive???)
Settle down, FRiends...it’s a joke!
Don’t worry, it’ll be made up by unicorn farts.
Modern turbines have a large rated range the very common 2.5mw GE.model produces power from 9 mph to 55 mph with the top end being less than .01% per annum even in class 5 areas the wind gusts for seconds or a few minutes over 50 mph. Only storms which are fleeting can produce winds of those speeds on a more than a busy basis.those storms will produce winds like that for small as in hours at most vs 8760 hours in a year. The vast majority of wind speeds and times in a class 2 to 5 zone are going to be under 50 knots overspeed is a none issue for onshore turbines there simply is not enough fetch to generate sustained long term winds of 50+ knots only the oceans with thousands of miles of fetch can sustain gales for days at a time. Offshore turbines are designed differently to take advantage of these class 6+ winds they use active stall control and feathering or spoilers to lift dump.

But do they have to power alone to supply large communities 24/7/360?
So much for “street smart” Tony Baretta.
The Murder Can Hurt You movie parodied him rather well.
They closed San Onofre several years ago. It’s my understanding that it still had many years of operational years left too.
News to me. Thanks.
It is going to get much worse in California, and they deserve every bit of it for allowing their state to be taken over by communists.
“...it easily has another 40 years of potential service left in it, if not more.”
Dream on.
