I looked for data on disabled wind turbines too but did not find any. :/

As best as I can tell, he simply made up the number based on nothing (or he moved a decimal point?), and bringing up the unsubstantiated number in this thread was nothing but a red herring.
Reminds me of Hermie a.k.a Aeromodder getting all bent out of shape over a magazine article that claimed some car generated 500 lbs of front end lift, when logic tells us the real number was 50.

According to the American Wind Energy Association, there are 45,100 U.S. turbines. I rather doubt that 1/3 of them are disabled. Personal observation sure doesn't support that assertion.
