blades not moving during windy days was a clue to me

Not a good clue as it typically didn't rotate on the windiest of days.

so you're saying it is in operation, but it doesn't rotate? interesting

Oh I have no idea if its operational. I can see it from where I live and have noticed it in the same position for awhile now. I'm just saying that in general turbines don't run on really windy days. They don't need strong winds to operate, but the stronger winds can cause problems for them so you'll see it off on the gustier days. As I said in another reply my thought is that they either cant get maintenance on it or can't afford it right now.
