The turbines will also be valuable due to their visibility...

Climate models work well on a global level, but they can rarely be applied accurately to areas smaller than 200 square miles - which happens to be larger than many storms. "It's not just a simple relationship with sea-surface temperatures," says Curry. "It's more complicated than that. We need the models to get a lot better...
