Environment Wind Farms Could Change Weather

[The Helper]

A new study suggests that massive wind farms could steer storms and alter the weather if extensive fields of turbines were built, according to a news report.

It is not the first study to come to this conclusion.

The new research is an interesting "what if," but the installation of large wind turbines would have to be taken to the extreme to have the global effects portrayed.

The scientists, Daniel Barrie and Daniel Kirk-Davidoff of the University of Maryland, calculated "what might happen if all the land from Texas to central Canada, and from the Great Lakes to the Rocky Mountains, were covered in one massive wind farm," according to Discovery News. The result of such an unlikely installation: a real serious Butterfly Effect.

Oh so now even wind power is environmentally unfriendly? xD

>Texas to central Canada, and from the Great Lakes to the Rocky Mountains.

Yeah. Cause that's gonna happen.

I thought it was supposed to be flying far away from planet Earth...

but still... a Weather Storm machine from red alert would be intense.

What did they expect putting up big fans?
A small table fan is enought for blowing away a few A4 papers. What did they expect a couple of 100 would do

It kind of explains itself

Edit: None the less 260 000

Blowdryer? Hair blower? Vacuum cleaner? Artificial Hurricane? Or maybe some guys trying to save energy to play computer games?

I'm sure it's quite interesting to know what it can do if they exist.

I'm surprised they didn't say it would cause enough force to push the earth out of it's orbit, and crash us into the Sun or some other planet or astral object.

That's very unlikely. It's already busted by the time you heard of Newton's Laws.
