Re: Is using so much wind for kiting linked to global warmin

The irony is. Ultimately the guy is correct. If you affect the global wind patterns too much you will affect climate change. Energy in any form is not free.
But you can liken it to hairs on a dogs back. Take a little bit of wind is like taking 1 hair... it really makes no difference. Take a billions hairs.... All of a sudden you have a naked dog.....
You would never consider that making a dam has much effect on the world. But when you think about it Repositioning gazillions of tonnes of water at a higher level than sea level will affect the rotation of the earth!...

The same will occur with tidal power generation. You take some energy from the water you will affect the tidal flow.
At the end of the day its physics isn't it? The law of conservation? energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be transfered.
Hehe i sound like an oil lobbyist!.. hehehe...
