Can someone explain to me why those blades seem to be pointing in different directions? Shouldn't they all be facing together into the wind? Are they steerable? Or are they fixed and staggered in direction to average out inconsistant wind patterns?

In this case, I suspect that it is because some of them are not functioning yet. That picture was taken before the windfarm was fully commissioned.

Maintenance would be the usual reason.
