One thing I never hear talked about is how much 'energy' we're pulling from the wind, and especially the underwater turbines that are being installed in some places.

Is that going to start affecting weather patterns and ocean currents?

All that 'energy' has to come from somewhere.

Yes, in theory, the energy pulled from the wind into the turbine blades, then into electric current at a final electric voltage does need to be included.

But, realistically, no - so little energy is able to be extracted that it does not matter.

Far, far uglier is the visual and financial impact - all the dollars ultimately go to democrat party donors.
