It's a well written article and better the most of what you see in the news media...this one not dumbing it down. I didn't think wind farms would do anything since they are not high enough to be affected by a radar signal. Another thing I don't get is how that signature on radar looks like a tornado from a wind turbine.

Someone told me that if more wind turbines are constructed in the northern hemisphere, the earths rotation will be accelerated, weather patterns will be slowed, and continential drift will be altered. If an offsetting number of wind turbines are constructed in the southern hemisphere, earthquakes will be increased. I don't know whether to believe that or not.
