Here's the full quote: "Wind is God's way of balancing heat. Wind is the way you shift heat from areas where it's hotter to areas where it's cooler. That's what wind is. Wouldn't it be ironic if in the interest of global warming we mandated massive switches to energy, which is a finite resource, which slows the winds down, which causes the temperature to go up? Now, I'm not saying that's going to happen, Mr. Chairman, but that is definitely something on the massive scale. I mean, it does make some sense. You stop something, you can't transfer that heat, and the heat goes up. It's just something to think about." (Found at http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2009_09/020014.php which doesn't think too kindly of Mr. Barton)
Now this might give some a brain-freeze level headache, but some quick research turns out the gentleman from Texas might have been on to something: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2137170/Wind-farms-link-rising-temperatures-detrimental-impact-wildlife-weather-say-scientists.html Pull quote from the article: "Wind turbines could warm local climates up to ten times faster than the natural rate, a study has shown. Air temperatures around four of the worlds largest wind farms have increased by up to 0.72C in a decade, researchers have found. In contrast, Earths average temperature has warmed by only 0.8C since 1900." Scientific American goes further on the conversation, indicating that the increase in temperature is localized but does occur http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=how-wind-turbines-affect-temperature Until Later!
