Interesting thought...

On my way back from paris I noticed some wind turbines and thought to myself why don't they make them able to spin around to get the maximum revolutions per minute by facing in the right direction to get optimum wind flow. Of course this would require power to do so and if the wind turbine isn't spinning at all then this would be impossible to do so. Also a simple low powered computer would be required to run a program to measure the wind direction, wind turbine direction and rpm. They could probably do this by making a small hut either above or below ground and storing the computer and a generator inside. The generator should reserve about 5% power to make sure that it can spin the wind turbines in the right direction if all of them are facing the wrong way and not getting any revolutions.
It's just a theory though don't know if it'd actually work out...
