Alaska often has sustained high winds, hurricane force, at high
elevations. Windmills built along mountain ridges could produce vast
amounts of energy.

This looks wrong. I am sure they are far more reliable than that. Without

I am not Don Quitote and I don't fight windmills for a living. The wind
power industry has Siemens deep pockets to do their talking for them. The

Yes, I would think a reversible pitch blade would be stoppable in
high winds, but I guess it is not that simple. I know there have been
problems stopping wind mills whereby the brakes burned out.

Ahh! That figures. I know about them. I've got a feeling it might have been
