[QUOTE="ConstitutionCowboy, post: 3782377, member: 745"] The energy captured from the wind will simply be expended elsewhere. None of the energy is lost. On the whole scheme of things, I don't think it would be any different than erecting a fence to block the wind, or a building forcing the wind to blow around it, or an ocean taking the energy of the wind and making waves, or even setting the wind free by cutting down a line of trees. The energy in the wind will eventually be absorbed by anything from a blade of grass waving in the wind to a mountain blocking a valley. Bottom line is that it is all energy provided by the sun. Hydroelectric power is also energy provided by the sun. The sun evaporates water, the vapor condenses, rains down and forms rivers that fill the lakes that runs the turbines that produce electricity. It's that circle of life thing. Woody [/QUOTE]
