Wind Farms are Warming the Earth, Researchers Say

Summary- Recent research found that wind farms are actually warming up the surface of the area underneath them during the night, which could put a damper on efforts to expand wind energy as a energy alternative. Satellite data, that researchers used, from 2003-2011 to examine the surface temperatures across a large area of west Texas, which has four of the world's largest wind farms. The data researchers discovered, showed a direct correlation between night time temperatures increase of 0.72 degress C or 1.3 degrees F and the placement of the farms.

Critique- I don't understand why this is happening at night instead of all day, that is the only thing that is curious to me.

Impact- This will impact all of the states that are home to this form of alternative energy.
