You do realize they don’t actually take the wind itself....it still blows. All that is done is the movement is converted to electricity through the turbine’s motion.
The wind is a key player in the climate. If a wind turbine slows the surface wind speed down 25%, evaporation will be reduced 25%. The desertification caused by wind turbines is more than the CO2 emissions it replaces.
They do take energy out of the wind, which slows the wind, so yes they do take the wind itself.
You have implied this in your own argument. If you convert movement to something else, that movement doesn't exist anymore, i.e. the wind slows.
I don't know the efficiency of energy extraction or how much the wind slows, but it's probably enough (>0) to cause some fanatic to get upset about it sometime in the future.
