DESTROYING Energy

[Cherryman]

Well, if we bring God in.. we might as well bring the ancient Sumerians in.
If you are open for this..  You can learn a lot.

I'm a long time lurker, and respect the opinion of a lot of the posters here.
I can't resist the urge to ask about wind turbines. There are more and more being erected where I live.
If Newton's 2nd law is correct, will the wind not blow somewhere else, if turbines are creating power or electricity?
Can wind turbines cause change in the weather?
Thanks in advance

In short: Yes it does.


A little longer:  It's all about scale.


A wind turbine changes the (micro) climate around that object.
But if you take the the butterfly theorie ( a butterfly flapping it's wings in Brazil can cause a hurricane in the Caribbean, for example ) then every object moving or non-moving influences the micro and macro climate in a way.  But how much? And to what effect?   A large tree does the same..  but now it's called nature..  Cut down that tree and you create a different micro climate on that spot..  and somewhere on the world.


So yes it does, it is up to you to decide if that influence makes a difference...


( Little note, i'm against large commercial wind turbine parks, it's just a consolidation of the same power distribution (pay) system. I believe in every home should have it's own power generation)

Thanks for the quick reply Cherryman.
Nice analogy with the micro climate and the tree, but does the tree transfer wind power elsewhere or just re-direct the wind?
We have over 500 turbines generating 2 to 5 MW each, within a 400 square mile grid.
There is a a lot of power being created from the wind. I wonder what the trade off is.
Thanks again.

Evidently there are plenty of people with little sense but lots of money.

Oh my aren't you the clever one with words written in true ignorance. https://youtu.be/qeMFqkcPYcg?t=7

Not everyone is looking for the same thing in their time here.

Any true science/research/learning takes money, time, effort.
A truly scientific mind seeks to observe/learn that which they honestly admit they do not have knowledge of.

Independent research yields individual observations and individual results.

"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Respond to this observation: Without Matter in motion there can be no life.

Now please tell everyone what FORCE and SOURCE OF POWER is keeping you among the living on this side of the grass, and don't be rash.
