Wind Turbines Make It Be Too Hot Out

According to liberal dogma, we should be willing to accept a lower standard of living so that the electricity required for modern civilization to function can be generated by economically inefficient but politically correct means such as wind turbines rather than abundant fossil fuels on the grounds that the latter cause global warming. Then we read that these hideous wind turbines, in addition to marring the landscape and chopping up eagles (see here, here, and here), cause dreaded warming:

In two papers — published [yesterday] in the journals Environmental Research Letters and Joule — Harvard University researchers find that the transition to wind or solar power in the U.S. would require five to 20 times more land than previously thought, and, if such large-scale wind farms were built, would warm average surface temperatures over the continental U.S. by 0.24 degrees Celsius. …

The Harvard researchers found that the warming effect of wind turbines in the continental U.S. was actually larger than the effect of reduced emissions for the first century of its operation.

Looks like any means of generating power will affect the environment. Solar has its drawbacks too. Nuclear is the best environmentally, but moonbats don’t like it because of a movie featuring their heroine Jane Fonda, or maybe just because it makes sense.

On a tip from 1-Bodhisattva.
