Probably a greater effect on stopping the wind, as these structures are solid and rigid, while the wind turbines move in response to the wind and deflect the wind rather than stop it. Further, the buildings will present a much larger cross section to the wind than a wind turbine. So there's your new justification for stopping construction of oil refineries or nuclear power plants - they'll disrupt the wind and cause climate change.
