On Santa Rosa Island (Channel Islands Nat'l Park), a study undertook to determine a suitable location for a wind turbine (lots of wind on SRI, and not all of it emanates from headquarters). After extensive research, a site was selected, and a tower was erected. About a week later,the tower blew down.
Whereupon someone went out, bought a couple of off-the-shelf sailboat wind generators, stuck them on the roof of a couple of buildings, and flipped the switch. They worked quite well for several years.
