On wind farms and their impact on climate change 

Petice adresovaná: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner requests a study on the impact of wind farms on climate change in Europe. In his opinion, hundreds of thousands of wind turbines have been built all along the EU’s coastlines to produce electricity, transforming the kinetic energy of the wind into electricity, which leads to electricity generation at the expense of stopping the flow of gases along the planet’s surface. According to the petitioner, this results in an imbalance in the flow of thermal energy between large areas of land and sea, exacerbating weather phenomena such as violent storms, tornadoes, storms and heavy rains. Moreover, in his opinion, windfarms have an indirect influence on food production, as the very late frosts in recent years, which have ravaged fruit production, are also a result of disturbances in gas exchange on the Earth’s surface.
