The authors simply dismissed actual reported field CFs as irrelevant and not valid because they allegedly apply only to short, «low - power
turbines with small diameters in slow -
wind areas [less than 7 to 7.5 m / s annual
winds]...» The authors, however, fail to explain why the higher power windmills with
large diameter
blades were not available before, if indeed this combination is
wind energyís economic panacea.
