Oh sure. My intuition is that wind speeds below the line of best fit (in the area of 2.5 GW from 5 km/h to 15 km/h) are below the line of best fit because the fan blades were slower (or zero) and don't operate well at low speeds.

Meanwhile the power generation of about 20 GW and ~14GW between 10 and 20 km/h might be because they had slowed down from a previous high point.

It seems like there's a lot of noise at the bottom-left of these distributions. It might be interesting to see if the top end of the noise is preceded by higher wind speeds/power generation or follows it.

I actually don’t think they ever would, Morocco was the first country to acknowledge America’s independence, their people love the king, and they even sent artisans to Disney to build out their part of Epcot (? I’ve never been, Disney at least)
