I know there are some streaming plays that have very limited CPU power and memory. One these WAV would be better because the CPU could get CPU or memory bound with FLAC but on all modern players with plenty of CPU and using the latest FLAC decoding library there should be no difference. I have

What I was getting at is that after flowing around wind turbine the air will have less energy and apparently will also be more turbulent. So be it. However, I really don't think understand just how incredible an energy source fossil fuels are, regardless of their terrible downsides. Replace them

The albedo things was an interesting angle. But then what regatding all black roooftops and roads . Then it should be mandatory to have a reflective or white roof ? The albedo is a real problem when the large ice sheets og the ar tic and antarctic melts , its basically a runawy effect . And
