Will Wind Power Change Earth's Climate?

lommer writes "The Globe and Mail is currently running an article on a recent wind power study. A group of Canadian and American scientists has modelled the effects of introducing massive amounts of wind farms into North America and have come up with surprising results. While still having only 1/5th the impact of fossil fuels, wind power will still adjust the earth's climate with the equatorial regions warmed while the arctic grows colder. Could this be a boon for the nuclear lobby, or is this just further evidence for a diversified power-generating system?"

Balance Out?

Not buying this. Seems like if the difference grew larger the winds would grow stronger, and balance would be maintained. Just at a little different level.

Also, building enough windfarms to power the world just isn't going to happen. At least until long after this jackass administration is gone. And even then....
