Wind power - or lack of it.

Power in watts = (collection area in square feet) x (wind speed)³ x (0.0054)
The problem with domestic turbines lies in that little cube function on the wind speed.

...I went down to our local harbour and was amazed to see some of the yacht turbines spinning with hardly any wind - but then I saw that many others weren't, and realised that the ones that were cheerfully spinning weren't charging, they just hadn't been left connected to anything. I guess that large windmills (which keep their speed roughly constant by adjusting the pitch angle of the blades) are also often turning without generating. I started to wonder if there was less power in the wind than I had intuitively imagined...

That's okay ... Methane comes from Bull**** and that burns
