evidence: The study looks at what would happen if the United States tried to obtain all of its energy from wind turbines. It found the mixing of warmer air and cooler air results in a temperature increase of 0.54 degrees Celsius (0.97 degrees F) in the areas where the wind turbines would be located. The amount of warming experienced in some regions would be even greater, as Southwestern Minnesota could see a temperature increase of 0.6-0.8 degrees C due to wind turbines, while Northeastern Minnesota would see an increase of 0.3-0.5 degrees C. The study demonstrated that the warming impact of wind turbines is immediate, and highly localized. Although the benefits of reducing carbon dioxide emissions are global, the temperature impact is local. [...] Miller and Keith calculated the global warming avoided if the US, and every other country, eliminated its power-plant emissions by 2080, the avoided warming in the US in 2100 would actually be roughly equivalent to the added local warmth caused by the wind turbines.
