Plenty of wind most days, X. I fly over your region every day (and right over your house sometimes). 30 to 50 feet above the trees there is enough wind. Why those turbines are not spinning always puzzles me too, but it is not a lack of wind. My guess is neighbors complaining about the noise or flickering light get the brakes turned on. Or some safety certification, maybe.
