While massive wind farms are said by some to be the "renewable" energy source of the future, two Harvard scientists have found that the spinning blades of these massive metal monstrosities create more climate warming than coal plants, as one prominent example of the fossil fuel energy that climate alarmists claim is creating global warming.
In fact, wind turbines are more "polluting" in terms of the heat they give off than any fossil fuel energy source currently in use, which just goes to show that so-called "clean" energy is, at least in this case, a myth.
Published in the journal Joule, the paper concluded that, if all of the electricity demands of the United States could suddenly be supplied by nothing but wind turbines, the surface of the continental states would increase in temperature by a shocking 0.24 degrees Celsius.
This figure is vastly greater than the 0.1 degree Celsius temperature reduction that climate fanatics are aiming to achieve by "decarbonizing" our nation's electricity sector before the finality of this current century.
"If your perspective is the next 10 years, wind power actually has – in some respects – more climate impact than coal or gas," says David Keith, a professor of applied physics and public policy at Harvard, and one of the study's two primary co-authors.
"If your perspective is the next thousand years, then wind power is enormously cleaner than coal or gas," he added, in a statement.

At best, the return on "warming" investment from switching to wind power from fossil fuels will only start to become noticeable after about 100 years – and this is only after the planet undergoes a massive warming increase in the years prior.
If Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (AOC) warning about the world ending in 12 years due to "global warming" is actually true, then this means that wind power won't work to save our planet, even if the entirety of the energy production infrastructure was replaced in this instant with wind turbines.
"Our analysis suggests that – where feasible – it may make sense to push a bit harder on developing solar power and a bit less hard on wind," Keith carefully noted in an email about he and his colleague's findings.
But even solar panels create warming, we now know, though at levels substantially lower than wind farms. Even so, they're a better option than wind farms, which not only harm efforts to "cool" the planet in the short term, but also create illness in many of the people who live near them.
As this new study explains, when wind turbines extract energy out of the air, they effectively slow down the wind, which alters "the exchange of heat, moisture, and momentum between the surface and the atmosphere."
While the degree to which this happens is dependent upon ever-changing weather and climate patterns, it is certainly admissible that wind energy is hardly the cure-all for global warming that the climate fanatics continue to claim it is.
"So we're causing more warming with wind power by trying to reduce warming with wind power," wrote one Twitter user in response to the news.
"And we're smart people?"
