Wind Farms Warming Texas
This article, on Discovery News, discusses the effects wind farms have on temperatures. Turbulence behind the wind turbines causes the blades to pick up cool air on the ground and force warm air to the bottom. These temperatures could possibly hurt local farmers who have also suffered from drought. A solution to this problem could be smaller turbines or different shaped blades. A smaller turbine would decrease available power, because winds are slower closer to the ground.
