]]> Comment on Could Windmills Alter the Weather? by Ed http://www.meteorologynews.com/2009/01/03/could-windmills-alter-the-weather/comment-page-1/#comment-885 Ed Tue, 22 Jun 2010 18:17:26 +0000 http://www.meteorologynews.com/?p=165#comment-885 I am also a meteorologist and agree with Jack W. that the potential impact is overstated. The "weather" is a result of the earth's atmosphere trying to correct energy imbalances (kinetic and latent) built up by differences in solar insolation over the earth's surface. The sun and moisture are the drivers. The amount of energy in the atmosphere (again latent and kinetic) involved is huge (atomic bomb level of energy for a single supercell thunderstorm) compared to what is taken out by the wind turbines. And most of the energy in summer thunderstorms is driven by the release of latent heat from condensation in the storm, not the wind itself. So "stealing" some energy from the wind will have negligeable impact on the creation or sustainment of thunderstorms. Most changes would only noticeable on the micro-scale and will not impact the larger scale weather systems with any significance. As Amanda points out, there are many more man-made changes that would have a larger impact, such as deforestation (which also changes the surface albedo (reflectance of solar insolation) of large areas of land and the expansion of cities (heat island effects) than worrying about inconsequential energy loses from large numbers of wind turbines.

Absolutely stunning. There wasn't anything special going on with the weather - just your normal, hot summer day. Spotted yesterday on Long Island, New York – have never seen them before!

Odd thing is - they appeared a few days ago again - and there was no cold front, nor is it Winter here. I live in Cresson, Texas, about 60 miles west of Dallas. They are beautiful clouds, though. Very strange and odd-looking, but beautiful! AMD We see these weird-looking clouds EXACTLY like the Cedar Rapids pic constantly in the Winter here – usually after a Cold Front has passed.

These clouds are the result of artificial electromagnetic manipulation. They may have opriginated as some type of normal cloud structure, or they may be entirely artificial via aerosol spraying. The point is, they are almost certainly a visible manifestation of human generated pulsating scalar waves. Why were they not observed and named fifty years ago?? Because they did not exist fifty years ago. The present pulsing scalar waves were not present at that time because they were not activated until 1976, this being done by who we then knew as the USSR. That was thirty four years ago, and the waves have been continuous since. These clouds are a symptom of a man made and extremely dangerous, potentially cataclysmic situation on our planet.
