"Great point! However, the blades would still create a lot of lift, no?"

Most of these big windmills are designed to automatically "feather" the blades under conditions of high wind, so the "lift profile" would be minimal. I think the answer "is" no.

I thought that there might be some mechanism like that in play.

Thanks.
