  1. Random question:

    Has there been any sort of study on whether coastal wind turbines help limit the damage of hurricanes and typhoons?

    Assuming you have these huge wings all lined up in order across the coast, wouldn’t that resistance help eat up some of the energy the hurricane produces before it finally hits land?

    Yet we have Trump saying they cause cancer, and kill birds.

    (A few bird may die, but not the numbers Trump suggested)
