Genuinely true: Knew a guy in our expat group who had a really unique conspiracy theory: Those electric windmills you see on the landscape? He though you’d need constantly gale force winds to move the blades an inch, so he was pushing this theory that they’re not there to generate electricity, but to secretly to consume excess electricity, basically burning it off to help keep energy/oil costs high.

Did anyone try to explain surface area or even, like, sails to him?
