It is almost as if there is a force pulling back on the blades, …”

The weight of blades on one side are being pulled backward, but the blades on the other side are being pulled forward. The force putting drag on the rotor is the generator.

“This is why vehicles burn additional fuel to accelerate, and also to braking. …”

What vehicles burn fuel to brake? Cars, trucks, trains, etc. dump their kinetic energy into heating their brake pads.

But dont mind me, I’m just the degreeless guy constantly correcting science articles.
