What do you think about Dr. Keith's (Carnegie Mellon Univ) analysis that large
scale (TeraWatt) harvesting of energy from wind would cause global climate
impacts on the same scale as those predicted by adherents of the Anthropogenic
Global Warming Sect?

Remember that, because of wind power's puny Energy Amplification, we would need
a lot more Gross TW from wind to give us the same Net TW we are accustomed to
getting from fossils.
