Across America, clean energy plants are being banned faster than they’re being built::The clock is ticking toward a deadline to meet renewable-energy standards. But USA TODAY’s analysis finds local governments banning wind turbines, solar plants.
Hate to break it to you but wind is a finite resource, it’s unlikely that earths inhabitants would ever saturate it -it is still quite possible just excessively unlikely.
Wind is finite, and there has actually been research done to estimate the impact slower winds would have (a few degrees iirc), it’s just that this is massively offset by the pros of using wind.
no, wind is not a finite resource. it’s produced by the heating and cooling of the earth. Wind turbines aren’t doing anything to stop the sun from coming up and going down.

Seriously? What Facebook University source did you get that from?

To explain the farmer view on wind: I don’t want Industry/ugly ass turbines right next to me.
But banning solar is the dumbing fucking shit I’ve ever heard of. Bumfuckistan, Buckfuck Nowhere, my hometown at least has solar without a complaint.
