    I was rewatching strange new worlds and in the first episode pike is on his horse riding past a bunch of wind turbines.

    Why do they have wind turbines, they have antimatter reactors, what are the wind turbines contributing?

      I doubt they use antimatter reactors planetside - very risky, and antimatter don’t come cheap. They likely rely on fusion more than anything.

      But hey, the wind is free. Why wouldn’t you use it?
