You're still not paying attention. Tell me, where are the power lines connecting these wind turbines to the rest of the city?

Exactly. There's your first clue, Sherlock. BTW, your traffic is an absolute God-awful nightmare. 19'000 citizens with a traffic flow of 52%? That's terrible! You only have one entrance and two exits to your highway, so obviously cars are going to get stuck in those bottlenecks. It seems you don't even know how highway ramps work. You really need to learn the basics of the game to avoid these problems. I recommend you watch ImperialJedi's tutorial series. It's a good starting point.
After playing around with your city some more, it looks like a complete failure of design. Your road infrastructure is just.... all over the place. Roads appear to have been built with no rhyme or reason to them. They're way too tight around your factories and way too thin everywhere else. Your suburbs are an endless nightmare of dead-ends that results in traffic filtering down to the only available route to cross a bridge. Your highway development is non-existent. If you had extended your highway down the length of the city and service it with ramps, vehicles would have easier access to different areas. Hell, it looks like you don't even know how to use the curve tool. It's straight roads everywhere!
Your city services are a joke. There's no public transport whatsoever, parks are few and far between, and your city education is woefully inadequate. You only have two elementary schools, no high schools and no faculties. Crime is rampant because you have too few police stations and buildings are burning down because you don't have enough fire stations. You are OBSESSED with wind turbines! They're clean, but they generate a lot of noise pollution and it appears you've placed them randomly all over the map. You need to scale up to beefier power plants as your city grows. Finally, you built your homes too close to your factories. Would you want to sleep next to a filthy chemical facility blowing fumes into the air?
Overall, I recommend you abandon this city and try again. For what it's worth, I revamped the roads so that traffic flows more smoothly. It's not perfect, but traffic flow has jumped from 52% to 93%. Here's the save file so you can study it and get a better idea of what to aim for.

Numerous off topic and borderline insulting posts deleted, plus ones quoting and responding to them.
No name calling or disrespectful slights directed at your fellow forum members and game players. Everyone starts a new game with poor knowledge of its mechanics, we are here to be helpful and constructive not insulting and dismissive.
Closing before I have to issue infractions. This is the first and last warning to this thread.
The OP is welcome to start a new thread with a new city if they have any further issues or questions along these lines.
