(14,779 posts)If you transform one type of energy (wind) to another type of Energy (electricity), the first form of energy no longer exists. i.e it is now electrical power. Thus wind is a "Finite" source, sooner or later if you have enough wind mills, the wind will stop blowing for if a gust does pick up, the wind mills will absorb that energy and convert it to electricity.
A lack of wind, permit ground temperature to accelerate thus you would have increase heat (but that increase heat will provide the energy that pushes air and causes wind).
We tend to forget the wind currents are driven by the cold of the arctic and Antarctic interacting with the hear of the tropics. Air wants to be the same temperature as possible and thus cold air is pulled in the direction of hot air, and hot air is driven in the direction of cold air.
In fact one of the fears of Global Warming is that if the ice caps ever disappear, you would have a more uniform world wide temperature, thus killing the wind currents.
This is the problem with most Anti-Global warming advocates, they rely on science when it supports they side, but ignore it when it is against them. Thus they are often half right.
