Anyway, I was looking at a photo of a windfarm with all the turbines lined up all in a row, and wondered if they create wind. Could it be dangerous? What if they were aimed at a road could they create enough wind to blow over vehicles on said road. Like caravans? "They" say that birds are sucked into the blades. Does anyone know?

Very funny msg. In another universe perhaps electrically powered windmills are needed to blow wind around their planet. On our planet the wind drives the blades, air slows and becomes turbulent as it passes through the blades.

Except for last Sunday, when all the multitude of wind farms around Ararat were still
No wind, nothing happening.

Slightly off the theme. The unsightly scene of wind farms.
I was driving down one of our busy streets in our suburb when I took particular notice of all the Light and power poles and overhead lines. It occurred that I had never taken any notice of them in the past.
I must say that it is an ugly sight. We only have light poles in our estate as all power is underground. Lucky us.
They are part of the landscape but go unnoticed unless you happen to run into one. Now of course they always fail to give right of way.

Not to worry, not to far in the future Santa will have a nuclear powered sleigh. And wind farms will be where they should be, in a museum.

My thoughts are it would be a diesel powered generator towed by a big diesel powered truck follow by safety teams all in diesel powered items.

There's no denying the fact that they impinge on the scenic view, downright ugly.
I just had a thought. OK OK all you jokers.
