Worse synchronising the turbine output with mains AC at the correct
frequency, phase etc, then adjusting the phase angle to feed power back
into the mains is **VERY** **VERY** difficult.

It *was* difficult in the days of manual control systems. However,
engineering has advanced and now it is very easy, simply a matter of
connecting the box between turbine and mains.

It's just that the whole exercise was pointless, is pointless and
always will be pointless apart from to those gullible enough to spend
£1500 on junk in B&Q (and buy Lottery tickets). As long as no return
is expected, both seem eminently sensible.
