Is it weird to think that wind turbines are unironically cool and maybe even pretty?
They're an engineering work of art, the fact we can make small straight tubes stick 150M up into the sky and hold onto a multi-megawatt dynamo and propeller even in heavy storms, is super neat to me, and standing next to one and looking up inspires a strange awe; to think we can build something like that in a consistent and safe way is absurd, seeing those giant slabs of metal surf around at 100s of km/h is 🤯
