Peak Dunning-Kruger effect in its natural habitat! Our confident butcher friend here believes he's outsmarted renewable energy engineers with his "groundbreaking" discovery that wind turbines must become energy vampires 50% of the time. Little does he know that wind turbines are designed to rotate and face the wind direction (that's what those motors at the top do). They literally have wind vanes and yaw drives that continuously adjust the turbine position to maximize efficiency. Engineers spent decades perfecting this technology while he was perfecting his pork chop technique. It's like claiming cars would drive backward half the time because "statistically 50% of roads go the other direction."
