VERY OT, DO NOT READ THIS! (wind power, was Re: OT Humidity, was time off) Do not read, do not follow up! ;-)

Matthew Crews had an interesting reference, which I skimmed. Apparently 
there is a 6% change in <stuff> a non-trivial distance downwind from the 
wind farm.  If my skimming was accurate, that was measured difference, 
but the simulation apparently was similar.  (But now we've gotten beyond 
my skimming powers - there's a LOT of info in that reference!)
