  1. Yeh - You can tell that Peter has little experience in the utility industry. It seems not to have occurred to him that all the power from these individual wind turbines comes together at a big substation. At that point there are these big transformers. They can have thousands of gallons of flammable oil within their big insulating tank. Sure, there is redundancy, but maybe not all that much because these things aren't cheap. Plenty of voltage for an ignition spark. Then there's the towers. A few years back in Milwaukee, some guy took all the bolts out of a high voltage transmission line tower. It fell down. I did like the Ocean behind him.
