>>1394543Wind is a massive issue with fires in California. Wind turbines disrupt air streams, causing them to go in choppier directions while slowing down overall air speed. Building wind farms would actually help slow the spread of fire while giving people extra power to use.
But, any of them that burn out could also light up their own fires. It is a legit idea that could work, but I really don't see that sort of thing ever happening. I'm sure someone could get a research grant just to study the viability of such a thing and get some work at the very least. Who knows, maybe you only need a few rows of them in certain locations to fuck wind speeds over the rest of the downwind state.
