Can confirm, they are effective. Excluding those football-shaped ones that have become entirely dependent on their human provider and surrendered their natural predatory instincts in the process.
I like how the windmills were barely turning when the tornado past the first one, I assume they use a brake for high speed winds but seeing them spinning like a propeller would have been rad.
Our local weasel (night shift) paired with our cat (day shift) seem to be doing a pretty good job this spring summer in the back yard but the voles still rule the front.

They would put them in what's called a feathered position, with the blades mainly oriented horizontally so they do not produce lift/thrust.

For every day it rains, I double the duration of my shower. Gotta keep it balanced. Big Water lies won't get me.
Politicians telling us to take shorter showers because of drought drive me nuts. The water comes out of the river, into my shower, down the drain, and back into the river.
Short showers save energy.
Not irrigating your yard saves water.
Farms and industry laugh at our puny irrigation usage.

I've debated starting a Vintage leather Tannery down by the River, but the rent is obscene!

That's disappointingly not what I imagined of a turbine in a tornado. The breaking apart yes. But first, would rotate like a pinwheel, creating a massive emp-like pulse of energy. And out would step a new eletricity-powered superhero.

Take a large fan, but it in front of a Wind Farm and then hook them up to each other.
