just drive by most windmills randomly in your travels, most wouldnt be
moving or turning slowly.

The large wind farm turbines are designed to turn slowly--28.5 rpm is a
common design speed.

heating from wind just doesnt pay off.

my best friend has occasional visitors, his unit can be seen from
Interstate 279. people come with great expectations and leave sad...

Whether wind generation is economical is like real estate--location,
location, location...
