Do Wind Turbines Cause Global Calming?
Wind Turbines take energy out of the prevailing winds to create electrical energy. There is no debate that this happens. Taking energy out of the wind stream is causing the phenomena of Global Calming where there isn’t sufficient wind power left to move the weather. Global Calming could be responsible for more floods and droughts as well as more cold and warmth. Some scientists also see global calming as causing more hurricanes or even reducing their numbers over the season. As the world is putting up a record number of wind turbines, do you attribute the recent weird weather to global calming? And what would you do to prevent global calming from wiping out humanity in 15 years or so? This is one global warming “denier” who is 100% behind wind energy. Once built the wind farms produce the least expensive power, there is no waste, there is minimal maintenance capital expenditure, the birds don’t fly into the turbines en masse, and we need to diversify our electricity sources.
