Dark matter turbines!

Seriously, if Dark Matter exists, then there ought to be a local
"breeze" of it.

If we can directly detect it, a detection technology ought to yield
a method of converting the "breeze" to usable energy en masse.

Is the breeze constant, or "lumpy"? Is it "organized"? Could it be
alive? Using said turbines might be perceived as an act of war since
they'd by definition interfere with the flow. For those obsessed with
politics, Republicans would call it "harvesting", while Liberals would
call it "exploiting".

Politics aside, is the physics sensible?

What's the potential yield?
