Here is an interesting article from Minnesota Travel

Minnesota invested itself in alternative energy sources years ago, and so the revelation that the state spent $3.3 million on eleven wind turbines hardly qualifies as news. However, the fact that they dont work in cold weather does. KSTP reports that none of the wind turbines work, prompting the Twin Cities ABC affiliate to dub them no-spin zones. Special hydraulic fluid designed for colder temperatures was used in the turbines, but its not working, so neither are the turbines. There is a plan to heat the fluid, but officials must find a contractor to do the work.
