Take a look at the City/Lake site whose link is above;   Here's a problem with a non-operational wind turbine - it can be interpreted to mean that reliance on wind energy is bogus - granola crunching nonsense. 

When we have Marc, who is surely a wind advocate, asking questions about why it isn't working - "is it lack of wind power?", then certainly we will have wind adversaries mocking every day the stupid thing stands still. 

As a strong wind energy supporter, I urge the Science Center – and everyone else involved with this machine - to get their act together and get the damn thing spinning. 

Paul Gipe says if you can’t make it turn, put an electric motor on it and fake it.  I agree with Paul.  The self centered location of this machine is a shame.  Should have been out on 90 next to the food bank and Jergens – or anywhere it would crank.   Not in the armpit of the Browns.  Yet another Cleveland “good intentioned” but short sighted decision in my book.
