I may need to rethink my stance on renewables, even though I'm not sure whether that is serious or not:

Yep, typical moron. Even medieval windmills could be designed to resist rotation in a certain direction, and regardless the same electronic configuration that allows to draw power from one direction of rotation could be used to do the same for the other.

Medieval windmills were built to be rotatable to face the wind.

Working example

[Montmorency]

I don't mean the facing relative to the wind, but the range of motion of the hub for the blades themselves: counterclockwise vs. clockwise vs. both.

Someone suggested to tell him that the backwards rotation is necessary because we use alternating current.

The temperate areas in the Mediterranean might change to desert.
OTOH we might get forest cover in the Arctic:
