> The wind turbines in the illustration are comically small - wind power increases with the square of the rotor diameter and the cube of the wind speed - which is why modern wind offshore turbines are absolutely massive. Wow! I just looked this up... these are absolutely nuts. The diameter is over a fifth of a kilometer (220m)!!
