Ok think about this . Since all these wind farms are springing up could they be putting a drag on the earths rotation ? LOL Think about them like being a wind sock you drag along to slow your boat down, but in reverse.

THINK about it. Maybe it is causing climate change more than green house gases !!!!!!

Ok libetards think on that one

Out to how mant decimal points I are you doing going to take that calculation ? Sometimes the wind shift and could be pulling instead of breaking.

How many commercial and military aircraft around the world doing the same thing?

Compared to the drag from the mountain ranges it would be a spit in the ocean. Some of the mountains are still rising maybe we should try to find out if there were more seconds in the days a few million years ago.

Gravitational pull of the moon is slowing us down a little I think. Somebody should ask AOC! She will know.

How do know that they are not speeding up the rotation??

I sure hope they don't put too many on one side of an island and cause it to tip over.

Pelosi's hot air is causing climate change, not the turbines.

I think if you don’t get your jbyrd out of your hand it’s going to get inappropriate.

AS long as they have exactely 1/2 right hand and 1/2 left hand they should balance each other out.

Good God I hope this thread is a joke.

Sort of my thought too.

I don't particularly like wind turbines, however neither wind turbines nor mountains create a "drag" on the earth's spinning. Kind of like; even though the earth is spinning at 1000 MPH you don't feel a 1000 MPH wind against your face. Our atmosphere is spinning along with the surface of the earth.

I know that sounds silly. But I would like to hear somebody convince me that wind farms do not affect weather.

Even a large turbine would create less drag than a large skyscraper or other such structure that can not move to let the wind go by. Heck I bet even a large costal redwood would catch more wind than a wind turbine. They work by wind moving past them, not by stopping it.

There wouldn't be any drag from windmills or any other structure. The only thing it could drag against is the atmosphere and the atmosphere spins with the earth. If it didn't we'd exchange air with China every day and the wind would be 750 mph or so.

I would be more worried about what the oil industry is doing to our environment then a wind tower.

One of the laws of physics is - for every action there is a reaction. How does this come into play. Question is the wind the action and the turbine the reaction or is the turbine the action and what is the reaction? While you guys solve that one I'm going to repack the wheel bearings on the boat trailer. I'm going to be fishing soon I hope.

seeins tthe earths flat,you just need as many on the bottom as on the top.

No idea about weather, but certainly affected goose and duck migration where I used to live.

If the entire world population faced the same direction and took a step forward at the same time, would it jerk the rotation of the planet? Or better yet, everyone kept walking , would the planet start rotating faster or possibly start spinning backwards depending on which direction everyone was walking?
