That trees create wind. Every time their branches start moving the wind starts to blow at the same time.
Also I thought that wind turbines are amusement park attractions where people are put inside the blades.
Boy, the trees are really sneezing today.

I did just now contemplate the feasibility of wind turbine amusement park rides. Aside from fixed seating and safety belts, the only real thing stopping that from being a thing are (safety) regulations, no? The blades themselves are probably already hollow and they could be pretty good money makers, even if the power output were diminished because of the heavier weight.
My brother who studied physics did the math and told me you'd be subject to 12g of acceleration inside one.
Perfect. We'll name it "The Extreme Fighter Jet Experience" lol
