Participantasianautica,
Are you talking about chaos theory? “The flapping of a single butterfly’s wing today produces a tiny change in the state of the atmosphere. Over a period of time, what the atmosphere actually does diverges from what it would have done. So, in a month’s time, a tornado that would have devastated the Indonesian coast doesn’t happen. Or maybe one that wasn’t going to happen, does. (Ian Stewart, Does God Play Dice? The Mathematics of Chaos, pg. 141)”July 13, 2008 at 12:42 AM #238488Aecetia

ParticipantThw wind farms won’t affect the globe, winds will blow, resistance exists and varies in nature, forests do more to baffle wind than any farm ever would. That would be funny if people wnated to cut down the trees because they slow the wind.
Solar has a minimal effect as well, the sunlight is not absorbed into the earth or reflected and doesn’t warm the earth, it is absorbed somewhat. Both methods have such a minor effect that you shouldn’t lose sleep over it. Plus both methods reduce the burning of fossil fuel and release nothing into the environment, they are improvements.

ParticipantSo that is a no to chaos theory? I have heard the wind farms kill birds who fly into them and then Teddy Kennedy did not want them to ruin his ocean view. In other words, you can find something wrong with any proposal if you look long enough. I think wind farms and solar energy are a step in the right direction. There should be significant rebates for those who install solar to off set the initial cost.
