Why Are Wind Turbines White
The typical life span of a wind turbine is 20 years, with routine maintenance required every six months.

What happens if a wind turbine spins backwards?

It’s because windmills will never rotate in opposite direction by its own, because it have a design like turning is head part according to the wind direction. If someone intentionally make it rotate it opposite direction means 90%nothing happens, but sometimes there’s a rare chance of drawing power from grid.

Why do wind turbines face the same direction?

There’s energy locked in wind and their giant rotors can capture some of it and turn it instantly into electricity. The top part of each turbine (called the nacelle) rotates on the tower beneath so the spinning blades are always facing directly into the wind.
