Wind farms are stealing your wind?!
Certain 'news' outlets have been complaining of late that someone, somewhere, is stealing our 'wind'. And that wind-farms becoming more widespread will lead to catastrophic impacts on wind across the world.
So today we look at what the phenomenon of wind-shadowing is, and what can be done about it.
00:00 - Introduction
02:06 - Background
06:06 - What is wind (no, seriously!)
13:21 - Wind turbine impacts on wind
16:00 - A quick and dirty overview of wind turbine developments
21:18 - But how much energy could wind power provide?
23:27 - What can be done about wind shadows?
26:05 - Final thoughts
27:04 - Thanks and Credits
