As more wind turbines are installed worldwide, I was wondering how much of an impact on weather they could/would have. (Full disclosure: I am not trained, merely an interested non-scientist) Collectively, wind turbines are collecting considerably more energy than Lorenz's butterfly, so could the extraction of energy from wind cross the threshold from trivial to significant?
My understanding of complex/chaotic systems is that while we cannot predict the specific outcome brought about by a change in initial conditions, we know with some certainty that the system will change.
