That reminds me of that recent finding that wind turbines would be a few percent more efficient if they turned anti clock-wise (at least on the northern hemisphere), but practically turbines in use today turn clock-wise. Sure, it should not be to much engineering to change that but still you need to adopt the entire manifacturing process to it.

Would you have a source for this? Really curious what might cause that.
Interesting, so it's not the rotation direction of any individual turbine that matters but how the wake of turbines affect others around it.
