A wind turbine designer is considering installing a horizontal axis wind turbine at a location in Michigan. To increase the power extracted from wind, the designer is debating between increasing the blade radius by 10% versus increasing the height from 40 m to 60 m, which would increase the average wind speed from 6 mph to 6.5 mph. Considering the only the impact on power extraction, the designer should go with the height increase. a. True
b. False
