Don't wind farms actually warm the earth by robbing kinetic energy from the wind (which cools the earth)? I read that local climates actually get warmer where there are huge wind farms
- adrianN 7y agoWind doesn't cool the Earth globally. It's just movement of air masses because of uneven heating by the sun. There are localized effects of wind farms, but they don't add any energy to the climate system.
