Operational wind plants increase planetary boundary layer height: An observational study

Author:  Abraham, Aliza; et al.

These findings provide strong evidence that wind plants can modify the planetary boundary layer in their surrounding area … [T]his study corroborates the hypothesis that wind plants interact with the atmosphere to affect local climatology. Abstract. As wind energy deployment grows, interactions between wind plants and the surrounding environment become more prevalent. The current investigation seeks to understand these interactions by characterizing the impact of wind plants on the planetary boundary layer height (PBLH), utilizing observations from the American WAKE ExperimeNt . . .

U.S energy consumption by source and sector flow diagrams, 2023

Author:  U.S. Energy Information Administration

Another version: Breakdown of renewables: Wind energy represented 18% of the energy (not just electricity) produced by renewables, or 1.5 quadrillion BTU. 1 quad = 293 TWh, so 1.5 quads = 439.5 TWh. Total electricity production was 32.09 quads, or 9,402 TWh. Line loss took away 0.61 quads, or 179 TWh, of that. Source:  Monthly Energy Review, U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

ILL WIND: From Amazon Forest Crimes in Ecuador to Wind Turbines in the U.S. and China

Author:  Environmental Investigation Agency

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) built upon existing reporting and conducted an unprecedented multi-year ground-truthing investigation that connects the dots between the illegal logging and human rights violations reported in the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Amazon, the insufficient due diligence by world leading wind blade manufacturers, and global energy provider giants like the recently incorporated GE Vernova. At the nexus of Amazonian ecosystems, Indigenous People’s rights, wind turbines, and major policy incentives in both China and the U.S. lies . . .
