They build a lot of turbine blades on the Island and you often see the dedicated solar-powered ships, 'Blade Runner' and 'Blade Runner II', carrying the blades around. This is despite evil company Vestas short-sightedly declaring that manufacturing wind turbine blades had no future in 2009 and sacking everyone on what was then one of the Island's largest employers. This led to a well-publicised sit-in peaceful protest in which several men heroically occupied the Vestas factory for a month, fighting for the right to work and manufacture turbine blades. (Which led to the employers forming their own turbine-making company which threatened Vestas, so they ended up buying the site back and vastly expanding their turbine-making operations).

This is because the popularity of fart jokes has been in serious decline ever since the fall of the Sumerian civilisation.
