Harvard team finds large-scale US wind power would cause warming that would take roughly a century to offset

Green Car Congress

Extracting energy from the wind causes climatic impacts that are small compared to current projections of 21 st century warming, but large compared to the effect of reducing US electricity emissions to zero with solar. They find that large-scale wind power generation would warm the Continental United States 0.24 —David Keith.
