Article: Weather hots up under wind farms�| New Scientist: "During the day, the model suggests that wind farms have very little effect on the climate because the warmth of the sun mixes the lower layers of the atmosphere. But at night, when the atmosphere is stiller, the wind turbines have a significant effect."

Apparently the turbines tend to pull down higher wind speeds and warmer air from slightly higher in the atmosphere. And of course the energy used for generation is removed from the wind and so will not carry forward .... nothing is without effects. The issue is what kind of effects?



This is important given that there are some vocal opponent top wind farms with some prominent spokespersons.
