Have you seen the windmill "farm" west of Indio, California (on I10) ?

HUNDREDS of large windmill AC generators.

Is that the farm between LA and (around) Palm Springs? I drove
through there ~five years ago and was amazed at the size of the
wind-farm(s?) and the number of turbines that were stopped.

I haven't been able to determine if the stopped units were off-line
for repair, or simply off-line based on grid needs. I've *never* seen
anyone *working* on them, but I drive by there only once or twice a
year.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
