I have often driven by a virtual forest of windmills in southwestern Minnesota (Highway 23 near Holland, MN) that stretches from horizon to horizon. On many occasions I have seen ALL of these hundreds of windmills idle and others times just a few turning slowly and probably not generating much if any electricity. Only rarely did I see all of them turning at once.
Years ago i drove through Palm Springs, and like you viewed some props turning, some not.
I am telling you, and I have yet to hear someone on this forum refute me, the wind mills in Illinois along the I74 to I55 corridor NEVER STOP ROTATING!!!!!!!
Like Ethanol this is another scam put over the public.
It’s time to throw the bums out. Sorry, Santorum is a good and decent guy, but like Romney he is beholding to the establishment in Washington, probably more so.
From what I have heard, if there isn’t any wind, the blades rotate by using electricity.
Hell of a deal.
