Perhaps somebody can take a leaf from the Dutch style of windmill but with rotating panels doing a fair bit of good (especially in Northerly winds).
Hmmm...reading that I had this lovely vision of solar windmills being turned not by wind but by politicians.
As a species they do seem to have a ready supply of hot air with which to rotate the solar panels...
