Olympic wind turbine may get athletes in a spin

[what a joke .... ?!]

A wind turbine that was planned to help power the London Olympics may have to be switched off during games to stop disturbing the athletes, the organisers admitted today.
Plans for the turbine were designed to underline the organiser's ambition to stage the greenest-ever games.
But they face embarrassment following a report in New Civil Engineer magazine which discovered that the engineers for Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) are looking at a number of options for minimising distractions from the turbine, including locking them in a fixed position.
