So all those ground rods are next to useless as lightning protection but, I suppose alright for general electrical earthing. I remember reading some of Ben Franklin's thoughts on lightning and the high multi-pronged arrays he proposed.
I imagine I could construct a suitable bracket to support such a device above the height of the turbine
That might help.
