Illustrated in this pic are the downstream effects of one turbine to the next. The "wakes" can cause real problems and the development of full-field control strategies is the focus of current R&D efforts.

Wow, never considered that!

Obvious though, how much extremely disturbed air finds its way down the line of turbines. Appears there's quite a "mess" towards the end of the line...

I'm convinced that there will come a point where so many turbines are built that they will slow down and eventually stop the earth from rotating. ;-p
