So, if you have two identical fields, one with wind turbines, and one without them, and a 30 mph wind enters those fields, what happens to the wind leaving the field with the windmills? It loses energy, doesn’t it? Doesn’t it? And the downwind terrain will become?... Warmer or cooler or the same?...Anyone?...Bueller?... ....And how in the name of ALMIGHTY SCIENCE does that NOT alter the climate? HOW does that NOT result in permanent changes to weather patterns?

And just where the hell do you put the used fiberglass blades when you have to replace them after 10 or 15 years?

And what do you do about all the birds that are killed by these freaking monstrosities?

And why do we have to be chained to the most expensive means of producing electricity known to man?

Windmills suck.

Bumper sticker, please...

Not to mention they are eyesores, hideous beyond belief. They destroy the beauty of natural landscapes. Someone has written that the greenies love the climate but hate the environment. The damage these things are doing is incalculable. Killing vital bird populations, bats, and other wildlife necessary in the ecosystem. Raptors (hawks, accipiters) are dying in the hundreds of thousands. This is madness.

I tried to argue this with one of these nuts who was rapidly opposed to fracking and fossil fuels. Her response—”the birds will just have to learn to fly someplace else.” And this is someone concerned about the environment? Total idiots.

How some wind turbines hog the breeze

“Under the right atmospheric conditions, the decreases in downwind wind speeds can extend for 50 kilometres or more.”

You are right. Major wind turbines disrupt the natural flow of the air. Nature uses wind to transport air heat and to to equate (moderate) temperatures among differents areas.
Major windmills are definitely negatively affecting earth climate. Studies have been done, but buried.
All that messing up the earth climate does not matter! We need to save the earth!
