We’re arguing semantics but on a big enough scale they would eventually. That’s why you don’t just line up 100 of them directly next to eachother.


Agree that this is effectively arguing semantics, and it is taking energy from the wind. But the effect of each _is_ very small. There are definitely farms with >100 turbines close together. This one has >600 and has long runs of them close together. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alta_Wind_Energy_Center


while that one produces more electricity, this one has about twice as many turbines in close proximity: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Gorgonio_Pass_wind_farm
