Backward wind

From across the pond

We have just been given a graph for wind turbine outputs.  Handily the turbine output runs from -10KW through to 70KW.  Why have they run the graph to -10 and not 0?  Or are they just thick?

2 lacklustre pieces of inspiration on “Backward wind”

    Not thick, just totally lacking common sense. A fine example of the statistician or graphics department (or even consultants) who prepared this not realising it is from the real world, and so has a real world application. Instead, they are just focussed on the numbers or the image.
    Unless turbines do use power when the wind comes from the opposite direction….

    I don’t like the sound of backward wind. May result in air being dragged up ones end. Most irregular.

Provide common sense...

A dodo. Well known for its common sense.
