It's already an outdated technology before it's even deployed.
I'll just leave this link here, it speaks for itself. Much smaller size, and engineered and designed in a totally different way that should be able to function in basically any wind speeds...

Yeah I saw Matt Ferrel's video on this: https://youtu.be/SQKHJm7vd4E?si=HI9VaesTVO8sMJ-z Why would this mean traditional designs are outdated?
With Harmony Turbines, they start operating with winds as little as 1 to 2 miles per hour, with winds from any direction. And with their furling mechanism, they can continue working through winds of practically any speed.
Edit: They also take up far less land space.
