New source of climate warming: Wind farms

This is almost funny:
Great news for NIMBY activists that want public policy to follow the anthropogenic global-warming agenda but don’t want their vistas cluttered. The wind farms that they support everywhere else but nearby themselves may be part of the problem...
...Wind power is already one of the worst options in the renewables market. Wind is unreliable, and the unreliability of energy production causes numerous problems for distribution. The manufacture and maintenance of the windmills requires a lot of energy, costs a lot of money, and creates a lot of waste, although perhaps not as much as Solyndra left behind. The blades kill hundreds of thousands of birds a year already, and any expansion will make that destruction much worse.
Of course, the rise in temperature might be beneficial. No one has shown that even if a warming period occurs naturally or artificially that the overall impact will be relentlessly negative...
