Across America, clean energy plants are being banned faster than they’re being built::The clock is ticking toward a deadline to meet renewable-energy standards. But USA TODAY’s analysis finds local governments banning wind turbines, solar plants.
Windmill cancer.
I had my conservative professor uncle tell me we can’t use windmills because “they use up all the wind.”
imagine having to explain to your elders that wind isn’t some finite resource.
Wind is finite, and there has actually been research done to estimate the impact slower winds would have (a few degrees iirc), it’s just that this is massively offset by the pros of using wind.
Seriously? What Facebook University source did you get that from?
no, wind is not a finite resource. it’s produced by the heating and cooling of the earth. Wind turbines aren’t doing anything to stop the sun from coming up and going down.
All that precious wind we need for top soil erosion
What else exactly did he think we needed wind for anyway?
Hate to break it to you but wind is a finite resource, it’s unlikely that earths inhabitants would ever saturate it -it is still quite possible just excessively unlikely.
