If you are pulling energy from the air then there is less - DHighlander NWMSU - 8/19 12:08:09

you're a teacher, right? are you students also - 90Tiger STL - 8/19 12:31:43

hold on. It is a fair discussion, without long term - tman MU - 8/19 12:37:04

dude, where do you think wind comes from? (nm) - 90Tiger STL - 8/19 13:19:38

I know where wind comes from but I also know that we are now - DHighlander NWMSU - 8/19 13:51:25

will the energy we draw from the sun or geothermal sources - 90Tiger STL - 8/19 17:16:10

No. That energy is gone forever. - haeffb MU - 8/19 17:30:35

if you drain 0.1% a year - SwampTiger MU - 8/19 13:21:00

Does it just keep going around the earth - meatiger MU - 8/19 13:31:19

Clearly, anything in the path of wind reduces the speed of - 90Tiger STL - 8/19 13:41:33

Oh, wait. This post below might be very very wrong. - haeffb MU - 8/19 12:50:12

It is very wrong - meatiger MU - 8/19 13:15:42
