Tom I hoped you had a good trip the Arctic and did you offset your carbon footprint as you wandered around that pristine landscape. your little bit of body heat did not help save the ice sheets. You fail in your little bout of self importance in the video in that wind can not ever be relied on even with one lump of metal spinning to help it but the lumps of spinning metal can be relied on with out wind, which is a good job as there seem to be a lot of dead turbines around or are they waiting for the right kind of wind.,(reply>), Done ranting? There's a reason that wind farms are put on hills in the gulf stream and in major wind corridors. These turbines have been engineered to be as efficient as possible. No turbine is ever "dead" as you put it, rather one uses auxiliary power to rotate to face the wind, which then gathers power to turn one of its brother turbines, multiplying until they are all gathering wind. These blades are anywhere from 8-12 tons and carry a LOT of momentum, so if the wind were to die down, they would continue to spin for up to 10 minutes. Furthermore, renewables like these are modular, so that if one fails, it can be easily replaced. If your coal or nuclear plant goes down though, someone is bound to die.
