When the control systems or brakes fail, those turbines crash fast.

Huge exploit waiting to happen.

In CA along I-8 the turbines are very close to the road. It seems that a blade failure might send things flying as far as the highway. A failure of the pitch control or fatigue could cause a real problem for travelers.
