One possible moral of the story: Don’t buy old used junk from California. There is probably a reason its for sale.

Well, you see, the problem is .... Wind mills need wind to move (efficiently enough to make power at least...)

And lots of wind to make a little power. Regardless of what “the legislature passes” I will assure you before God and mammon that they need LOTS of wind - and LOTS of expensive maintenance to turn.

They follow, you see, Newton's Law - NOT Gore's Law. Or Obama’s Law. Or the democrat's “law”.

At best, you're going to get 20 - 23% percent run time. More likely, 12 to 17 percent running time.
