There’s severe turbulence issues in highly dense wind farms that makes them not favorable to construct. This forces us to build only in very spacious areas. I’m sure there’s designs that are better than the traditional type in highly turbulent areas (can’t vouch for the design from the link due to lack of knowledge) but “how do we not waste so much land” is a good area of research I think.
