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.

most dont turn at all inb winds under 10 MPH,

Once upon a time in Texas, there were significant legal battles over water
rights between land owners on opposite sides of a boundary creek.

Now I hear there are places in Texas where there's not enough wind for two
windmills.

This leads to court battles between adjacent land owners over wind rights.

So, the weather's a factor.
