Plus it makes a much better movie than machines won and there's no humans left the end.

There is still sun. There was just a lot of clouds. There would still be wind. Cold temperatures can actually make for some of the fastest winds. I don’t know that radiation would be any more problem for machines than us, especially since nuclear reactors require machines. I also don’t know if brain to body ratio makes for a better battery. I appreciate the effort, but I think it is a big stretch, even for fiction. Good series though.

Neptune is our solar system's windiest world. Despite its great distance and low energy input from the Sun, Neptune's winds can be three times stronger than Jupiter's and nine times stronger than Earth's. These winds whip clouds of frozen methane across the planet at speeds of more than 1,200 miles per hour (2,000 kilometers per hour). Even Earth's most powerful winds hit only about 250 miles per hour (400 kilometers per hour).
