Wind farms containing very large (1.5–2 megaWatt) turbines may have only one for every 25–50 acres. Smaller turbines can be more closely spaced. > At either rate, the overall harvestable wind energy per unit of land at fully rated conditions (approx. 12 meters/sec wind speed), is generally in the range of 50 to 100 kW per acre. harvestable_wind_energy = 50-100 kW/acre https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/wind-turbines-bigger-better https://www.energy.gov/eere/articles/wind-turbines-bigger-be... : average_rotor_diameter: 120m (393ft) blade_length = 1/2 * average_rotor_diameter = 60m (197m) How many rotor blades can be stored on an acre?

    In Python, [JupyterLite or Mamba] Pint and Uncertainties might be helpful for units and uncertainty/error propagation. The https://numpy.org/ https://numpy.org/ pyolite (WASM) IPython demo has SymPy installed in the env but not Pint?
