You’re going to need to educate us about “hydronic” please. What is it for?

[kickstart]

My understanding is the rotation is very slow. Also, the windmills need (electric) thermal heat to keep the hydraulic fluids from stiffening in cold weather when they are not turning.

My understanding is the rotation is very slow.

Yes. Zero RPM is a speed, and it's really slow. Seriously ... travel around a bit to where these wretched things are, and you can see them literally NOT MOVING.

Yep ... one of the many "dirty secrets" the commies don't want us to know.

What’s the problem here? As long as they are standing up and turning, they are SENDING THE PROPER MESSAGE to the world. Really no different than the reason someone buys and EV.

Obvious autocorrect issue- was supposed to say hydraulic

I don't like those giant windmills. A waste of money, kills birds, makes odd noises, and ruins the scenery.

I wouldn't travel around to see one to check its rotation. :-)

[NorthMountain]

Fair point ... I travel for other reasons; the sight of windmills not moving is collateral damage.
