I'm just going to admit it: My first review of this comic was wrong. Dead wrong. I said that the pun doesn't work because a turbine is a big fan and therefore the turbine's statement fails to be both literally and figuratively true. Thankfully, your man Luigi was lurking around in the comments to correct me. A turbine, as it turns out, doesn't generate wind.
So it is with no small amount of embarrassment that I must admit that this XKCD is actually rather clever and funny, with the caveat that adding "really" between "I'm" and "not" would have made the joke slightly clearer.
