funcition in the power output, so faster wind means alot more electricity yet i keep seeing articles trying to keep wind turbines from going too fast. why? do generators have limits?

The point that you are making is that for any given generator, the power output is proportional to the cube of the wind velocity. However there are problems with high speed wind generators including stress on the machine as well as death of migratory birds. Slower but larger wind turbines are more efficient, especially in terms of land use.
Because they can self destruct and blow to pieces.
