It takes energy to produce energy. An electrical engineer told me it takes 3kw of electricity to energize the field in a wind turbine to produce the energy it puts out.
It also takes energy out of the ecosystem. That’s right. The Brilliant Solution from the Brilliant People to this imaginary Environmental Crisis of Climate Change is to remove energy from a crucial component of the O-So-Delicately-Balanced Ecosystem, and make Electricity by slowing down the Wind; which…anyone? …Anyone?… Bueller? That’s right. Slower wind means warmer planet surface, which means… global warming.
