climate change?

Question

do wind farms have any result on climate change ie does the rotation of the blades make the world spin faster

Answer 1

No, they use the same number of wind farms in Russia all facing the other way. That's why they call it "The Cold War". *LMAO*

Answer 2

Certainly wind farms have an effect on climate change. Given that windmill blades operate under the impact of wind, and it is wind that transfers heat from a warm place on the earth to a colder place, then the result is that the wind movements are slowed down. This means that the warm places will stay warmer longer and the cold places will stay colder longer.

As we know, warm air rises while cold air descends, a results of colder air being denser and heavier. With the disruption of temperature distribution, the lack of colder air in warm climates will have the effect of producing less drag than the areas that are staying cold all the time, so the result is that the equatorial regions of the earth will eventually spin faster than the polar regions.

Given that angular momentum is conversed, this has the effect of causing a shift in the axis of the earth, straightening it out. Eventually the axis will have a zero tilt in regard to the sun, resulting in either a perpetual spring or autumn equinox. It will be spring if the windmills are facing east as we know that it is "spring forward", while westward facing windmills will cause the earth to "fall back", producing year-around autumn.

As we tend to see, winds blow west to east in temperate zones, so the wind farms will face west, while in equatorial areas, prevailing winds are east to west, so the equator will be always spring while the temperate areas will be always fall. Thus this enhances the equator's faster velocity and causes extremes in spring and fall in their particular parts of the world.

I think that we sure be fearful of the extremes in non-temperature variation and take down windmills for the sake of summer recess and winter holidays in schools, lest a revolt youth in the areas with it always fall and always stuck at school will lead to millions of casualties from the war with children always on spring break.

Answer 3

Wind farms are great, and where they can be used provide an alternative source of energy. The more options there are, the better the choices for the future.

As to the world spinning faster, you won't notice that effect so much if you stop trying to hold on to the blades...

Answer 4

To answer your question I really don't think so living out here in Wyoming where there are 100's of them all over the place, I feel that it only helps both the environment, and us humans with all the energy that we constantly are needing. So I'm sure that if these wind farms were in fact making the earth go faster in rotation they would have shut them down pretty darn fast. So no I don't think so, but way to think outside the box, your question differently was an original one :)..............

Answer 5

No, since they aren't GENERATING wind, only reacting to existing winds.

But wind farms are environmentally dangerous and a serious threat to bird life. They really all need to have protective gratings on them like desktop fans do, so no innocent creatures are pulverised by coming too close.

Answer 6

wind energy is a way of producing energy. Its good, but has its downfalls. Thats why windmills are a part of climate change, because they dont produce emissions like burning coal

Answer 7

wind farms r a waste of time

Answer 8

HA! HA! HA! ROTFLMAO!!!!!
Gimme a break! Try blowing to the east as see if you can slow the world down!!!

Answer 9

no u make me lol that wood be imposable
