RE:RE:More good news for oil ... wind winding down! Right you are yodog.
Drive through Indiana and some places on the coasts you can see what a blight wind farms are on the landscape. They are also noisy and worse yet grind birds up incessantly - slaughterering untold millions with an unknown impact on the fragile environment.
The environmentalists believed that bird flocks have intelligent collective consciousness and will learn to avoid the wind farms. This is simply a bird brained idea and there is no evidence of this.
But the big problem in addition to icing and heat is the shifting and unpredictable wind patterns. Yodog as you pointed out the earth would have to be virtually coveted in windmills to make a difference - not practical or worth the cost. This is why the wind companies are laying off and winding down so many projects - just not practical.
