What did you expect? You don’t expect a wind turbine to hold up in the wind, do you?
Sheesh!
About 40 years ago, NYPD decided to save a ton of money by buying compact cars (I forget what they were) for patrol; since they wouldn’t (in theory, anyway) be used in pursuits, they didn’t have to have any speed or power. After two years of normal patrol driving (24/7/365) on NYC’s famously potholed streets, all the cars were so badly damaged they had to be replaced.
Bureaucratic thinking at its finest.
I seem to remember a few cities buying into a 80’s something Ford Fairmont with a 2.0liter four cylinder. Basically the Pinto motor, but with less get up and go. It was said flipping the lights and siren on in a “pursuit” would cost you 10mph
Answers the question: “What could possibly go wrong?”.
I can’t make up my mind whether your sarcasm of choice is either too kind or too optimistic.
This whole wind power nonsense we are seeing now is a continuation of the “greenpower” theft that started under Obama. The entire thing is corrupt and it’s just a way for certain politically connected companies to keep raiding public coffers.
It’s not just the subsidies, it’s in the utility rates as providers mandate that they themselves will invest a large percentage of their income (rates) in this zero return crap.
That’s not a car, that’s a large mailbox with blue paint.

Typical local government malfeasance.
