Problem I had with turbines initially was that I figured that I didn't want ventilation in the winter so I tied a plastic bag around them. Wrong! Froze up the bearings so next winter I made a plug for the hole out of foam and let her spin. Once a year I'd take the top off and grease the bearings. One day I stood under one with my head in the hole and they really move a lot of air. Another time we were having a storm, wind blowing and raining like crazy. Stuck my head up there again and just the slightest of mist could I feel with the air rushing past me.
140F is not uncommon in an attic and can be worse if roofing is a dark color or no vents. You are trying to maintain 70 something degrees for personal comfort on the other side of your attic insulation.
Insulation merely retards the flow of heat from one location to another....Heat, AC, and REf. 101. It does not prevent the recipient from becoming the ultimate temperature of the sender. Therefore to come out with a lower average "sending" temp, you want the attic to be as cool as possible for the effort extended. Turbines, unlike power attic ventilators, are not only inexpensive, and last for 10's of years, but require no fuel to power them and are highly efficient in moving large quantities of air.
