A Harvard study from 2020 found wind turbines will cause more warming in Minnesota than emissions reductions would avert.
"Wind turbines cause local temperature increases at the surface of the earth by causing air to mix throughout portions of the atmosphere...According to the study, wind turbines measuring between 100 and 150 meters (328ft to 498 ft) operating at night can pull down warmer air from as far as 1,640 feet in the air down to the surface, warming the surface of the earth, where it would impact the people, plants, and animals living near the turbines....the warming impact of wind turbines is immediate, and highly localized in the areas that are the "hosts” to the installations. ... surface temperatures in the United States increase more due to wind turbines mixing air in the atmosphere than would be offset by reducing emissions."
