This is a semi-educated guess - I know hydrodynamics but little about turbine engineering A society committed to the notion that government is always bad will have bad government. And it doesn't have to be that way. — Paul Krugman
That is (a) a function of turbine height, not rotor diameter, which can (and is) increased independently, (b) it is a strong factor only on land - on water, in fact, the same type of turbines stand on typically lower towers (the lower limit is not even turbulence-related: it is a height for safe passage of smaller yachts). *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
On the other hand, larger-scale turbulence and differing wind speeds might be a limit on rotor diameter indepentently of height. *Lunatic*, n. One whose delusions are out of fashion.
