I previously made the following comment on this thread:
"Those big 2-megawatt turbines you see on wind farms? They can spin until they fall apart and never generate the amount of energy that went into them."
I've since learned that my words, taken from an article I'd read elsewhere, are not entirely true and should be disregarded. That article was filled with misquotes and twisted statements. I'm sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
I'm still firmly in favor of buying my own small power system and installing it on my van, trailer, or off-grid cabin/shack. I'm saving up and making plans for just that. You do the same. You all have a nice day, now, ya' hear?
