Ken Caldeira, a climate scientist at the Carnegie Institution for Science who wasn’t part of the research, said the study is sound.

“The climate effect of burning fossil fuels is cumulative,” Caldeira said in an email. “The longer you run a coal plant, the worse the climate change gets. In contrast, the climate effect of wind turbines is what it is. You build the wind turbine. Climate is affected. But as long as you run the wind turbine, the climate change doesn’t get any worse. So in the long run, as far as the climate is concerned, wind turbines are obviously better than fossil fuels.”

Except that you are affecting YEARLY rainfall & other weather events (thus crop yields) in the very areas that produce most of your food, you IDIOT.

Don't any of you worry about it though...we'll just make up for the lack of rain & disrupted weather patterns with a healthy dose of Brawndo.

Wind turbines are passive. Please explain how they change weather. What energy are they converting to affect the weather?

Don’t get me wrong. I think they are a huge waste of money and resources.

Citing garbage doesn’t help you one bit.
