The net effect of having wind turbines creating electricity will be the slow down of the earth’s rotation...

Taking the energy out of the wind causes the same and opposite force on the towers anchored to the earth.

Eventually, there will be no wind left to reach the east coast...

I think you are wrong here. Consider a windmill as a sail on a ship. The ship gets pushed in the direction of the wind. Without a windmill, the wind would just blow over the land. But with the windmill, the wind 'pushes' the windmill. So, the windmills will cause the earth's rotation to speed up. Days will become shorter. We may spin out of orbit.

I noticed the earth slowed down and the days got longer when I planted trees last July. Those cedars block a lot of wind. Clearly you know your atmospheric science...

A few decades ago my wife worked in airline reservations. She had this one obtuse customer that insisted that my wife find her a flight to Oahu no matter how many times she was told there were no flights available.

Finally, out of desperation my wife said to the lady, “Look, if we put one more person on that island it will sink!”

The lady bought it and apologized.

I’m sure if she were alive today she voted for obama, both times.
