That's an interesting point. I wonder what exactly happens to wind (kinetic) energy when it is absorbed by trees moved by the wind. Does it turn into anything useful, like heat available to the tree for easier transportation of fluids, i.e. have some trees adapted to benefit from wind (other than by transporting seeds/pollen over longer distances)?
