Comments on: Green news harvest: Global warming slowing wind?

A study suggests that global warming is lowering wind, making wind power less effective, although not everyone is convinced.

GW trashes windmill "solution"? ROTFLMAO.

That's got to be the lamest excuse I've heard yet. Any 5th grader can understand that *wind doesn't blow all of the time.* We don't have the storage capacity to retain excess power from when wind conditions are favorable, so there's no way to run a real power grid with that idea. The whole notion was a failure from the start.

Isn't it ironic, though, that the so-called human-induced GW is supposed to be taking the blame for turbines not catching enough wind? Sort of highlights the arrogance some people have believing that have more influence over the weather, be it 'harmful' or 'helpful,' than that impossibly large burning ball of hydrogen just 7 or 8 light-minutes away.

As for those who decided to invest whatever resources they wanted into wind, I guess you're *not* smarter than a 5th grader.

Vote for Palin. You betcha. Amen

Politics that's all global warming is about .Don't be a sheeple learn the facts yourself

Again what a crock. Simple thermo would lead you to expect that windspeed will increase since the delta t is higher if the earth is warmer.

It's just another example of the bad science going on these days. But hey, useless people have to eat too.

Global Warming reminds me of the Snake Oil Salesmen of the past. Today they should be referred to as Snake Oil Salespersons so as not to offend anyone. Anything for money.

But Algore says it is true so it must be!

This last winter was very cold. I had to wear a coat the other day and its summer time. I am still waiting for the "warming". I think the best thing to do is bad all liberals from driving cars and flying in planes. That would solve the problem. Obama needs to stop wasting fuel(and millions) flying around snapping pictures of NY city.

Has anyone ever looked into airplanes slowing jet streams? They certainly do slow large amounts of molecules both going through wind (resistance) and deflection and with the wind (a form of wind power).
