Keith suggests that the power capacity of large-scale wind farms may have been significantly overestimated. Large-scale wind farms can comprise hundreds of tower-mounted turbines. Each wind turbine creates a “wind shadow” behind it, in which the turning blades slow the air. Adams and Harvard University’s David W.
