So I guess to comply I should use the word TRANSFORM rather than CONVERT.
The windmills transform energy from wind (part of our weather system) to electricity.
It's the WINDMILLS

I repeated a well accepted theory - Energy cannot be ...........
I pointed out that the wind (part of our weather) turns the windmills.
I said to think about that.

I didn't mean to make this so difficult.
---------------------
On a different unscientific thought, things have been getting warmer since we've been putting up more and more windmills. ----- Just another thing to think about.

Acording to the quote you posted the correct word for me to have used is "transformed". I probably said "converted". In my game that's close enough - sorry.

There appears to be research regarding micro-climates and wind turbines at least since the 1980s. What I found, so far, indicate that wind turbines can change the local climate, and in one case I noted they said the reach was at least 10 miles from the turbines. They tested both land and sea turbines, and in various weather/wind conditions, and whether or not the turbine was running. Most of these are scientific papers, many just the abstracts, not the whole paper. Wiley Online Library even lists an abstract called "Wind farm and solar park effects on plant–soil carbon cycling: uncertain impacts of changes in ground-level microclimate", authors are Alona Armstrong, Susan Waldron, Jeanette Whitaker, and Nicholas J. Ostle. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/gcb.12437  Now that is not something I would expect to see. I suppose if we get polluted by wind farms everywhere, we could eventually actually see some more extensive change, but still not overall global, I think. Right now it all looks negligible, apparently measurable, but still negligible. Speaking of wind farms everywhere, I vaguely remember seeing video of wind turbines right in a city or very close by a few years ago. Can't remember where, but it was in and around a port city.

Good morning...

Starting off at 49° and heading into the 80's. Yesterday was lovely with a slight breeze and lower temps.

Another day of catching up and some baking needs to be done.

Jane, hope you are keeping well.

Phyllis, how are you doing in this heat?

Better get the Swiss Chard picked..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning everyone,
Nice research Ciabella🙂 Microclimate changes do effect climate overall. Something I've noted that I haven't checked into: whenever I get a forecast for T-storms I monitor the weather radar site; I've notice an anomaly that shows up now that I didn't used to see; Right over the solar farm outside of Pendleton. There's a hole. A clear area over the farm and the system turns around it. Not every time, but significantly. The system covers an area larger than our regional weather report. Thats more than microclimate. I want to encourage people to look at the date of the paper they're citing, and who funded it. The wind turbine effect will become more pronounce as more turbines go up (greed), and over long term. Past editors of major scientific journals have come out and stated that at least 50% of the articles are propaganda and the results fraud. My daughter encountered this when she submitted her doctoral thesis. The examining board handed it back to her and told her to rewrite it, giving the program sponsors a "yes" answer or she wouldn't get her doctorate. The schools extort the students. The Industry controls them and the "science."

I've been pretty distracted with trying to prepare for the impending spraying. I finally found a mobile phlebotomist that would come here.

It 59°, mostly cloudy. Amy, it was a nice day here, too, yesterday. Love hearing about your garden and preserving.

Amy, Good days and bad days.  I think all of us experience that.  I stay in, hope that AC keeps going, try to keep hydrated, eat light meals and get as much adequate sleep as possible, keep calm and just hang on until cooler days come.  It is hard for everyone to cope sometimes, isn't it?  I hope you and Kyle are doing well.  Just do what you can and try not to worry about the chores that must wait for a while.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I sure hope this goes through because I miss all my friends on here!! No Cooper today but the might be here later to give him a bath. So far it's been a good day. I took a nice walk by myself. And I'm thinking of all my friends on here. I wish you all a great day!

Good morning,  Jane.  Don't worry about how your posts look.  I am just happy to hear from you and know that you are still plugging along with the rest of us.  Good to hear that Cooper seems to be feeling OK and still coming to give you company during your days.  Take care of yourself.

Right on about the papers, OLM. I tried to find a juried journal for this wind turbine/microclimate stuff, but with the time I allotted to it I didn't find anything. Nature (which published peer-reviewed material and some academic papers which, I believe, were published through their respective universities was the best I could find yesterday. However, this morning I did a general search for peer-reviewed (juried) journals and came up with quite a few in all fields. I haven't delved into them.

It is disconcerting to hear about the flack your daughter got over her Doctoral thesis submission. My best friend had an experience with internal politics at the university he was at. That and he found out the head of the newly formed department shared some of his research with another university without his knowledge or consent. As a result, on the advice of his adviser he switched from that department to the reading program within the Education Department. He got his degree, but the Education people didn't know at the time quite what to do with the computerized program which he designed for reading teachers to help diagnose reading disabilities. They were used to survey type papers. I had the honor of reading over his thesis to check that it was understandable to non-computer programmers. I found a very few things that I needed some clarification, but otherwise I, a computer user but by no means a programmer, could easily understand it. After he graduated he and his advisor repackaged the program and sent it out to various publishers. One was interested in it, but in the end, nothing came of it. The one most definite thing that came out of his journey is that I wrote what is called "garden-path" sentences and was able, for the most part to correct that. Another was that most people lose focus after fifteen words or so. As you can see, I have never been able to stick to short sentences.

I don't know who bought the sneakers for the temp but tie the laces together!! Need to try a new recipe a friend gave me and will grind it up later after supper.

Jane, I sat down with phone in hand but checked here first. :thumbup:  So good to see your post. :smitten:

Phyllis, here we take one day at a time. Yes, what doesn't  get done will just have to wait till another day. I thought when no dancing with Mr SB I would have more time on my hands but mercy I am so wrong!! I do like playing in the dirt and canning though. :)

Bubble, thank you ..

Good morning..
Temp is only going to tickle the 90's so the weather folks say.

A few things got put over to today ,maybe they will get done, maybe not.. :2funny:

All but the fish have been fed and they are next.

Patricia, Fall signs are here...on the bright side it does mean cooler temps. :thumbup:

Jane, have a wonderful day.

Better get those fish fed.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.
