so he isnt 100% incorrect by your explanation, hes just retarded in his interpretation. like i said.
Umm...not sure I follow your logic, but yes, he is wrong.

So Mr. Scientist you have done large scale atmospheric experiments? You are 100% confident that increasing wind turbine density by 1000s% will cause no harmful side effects? Oh what's that, you are just powering a wind turbine with your hot air.. I see.
Now the congressman certainly was pushing an agenda, likely for an oil or coal interest. I doubt he knew even the first thing about what he speaks. On the other hand it is certainly something to study before any large scale density change of wind powered technology. A basic understanding of atmospheric dynamics does not mean you are qualified to make such judgments about the effects of human engineering in nature.
It is not customary for an intelligent human to converse with an ant, but I'll make an exception for you.
I did not say that there would be no harmful side effects by literally filling the countryside with wind turbines. I just said that you won't be able to restrict air movement, no matter how many turbines you stick in the ground. The tallest wind turbine tops out at about 670 feet. The troposphere (the area of the atmosphere humans and other things live in) tops out at anywhere between 23k and 65k feet. If the ground and the sea were littered with nothing but wind turbines whose height topped out at 670 feet, you still wouldn't see any air restriction between areas of different air pressure. A vacuum cannot exist in an atmosphere. If there's a pressure difference, air will move to equalize that difference. You can't stop it.
I am a troll. Everything I say must be assumed to be said solely to provoke an exaggerated reaction to the current topic. I fully intend to bring absolutely no substance to any discussion, ongoing or otherwise. Conversing with me is pointless.
