Researchers have suggested that wind turbines and lenticular cloud wind turbines can affect local weather by increasing night-time temperature. According to the study published in Nature Climate Change, the temperature of the area near the newly constructed wind farms are higher than next-door areas. Using satellite data, US scientists concluded that the effect is caused by turbines bringing relatively... 

Google is positioned to be a major investor in a proposed transmission line for offshore wind farms on the Atlantic seaboard, a bold plan that could radically reshape the electrical grid in the region. The proposed Atlantic Wind Connection, which would cost $5 billion in all, would run from New Jersey to Norfolk, VA, collecting energy from offshore windfarms and redistributing it among mid-Atlantic...
