Link Post - Wind Power Also Warming Source
Technology Review - The original paper is behind a paywall, so you'll need to take Technology Review's word on the soundness of the methodology. There is a new study published in Joule that has evidence that replacing the entire grid in the US with wind power could actually increase warming by a tenth of a degree.
Their evidence is that wind power takes some energy out of the air, which causes the warming effect. The authors push lawmakers to focus more on Solar Energy where appropriate. Of course, this is why so much research is still chasing Fusion as the long-term energy solution. But as ever, it's just ten years away.
