If you believe in the Conservation of Energy, which holds that energy cannot be created or destroyed, then you will see that windmills derive some of their energy from the earth’s rotation. Continued installation of these will slow down the earths rotation. If you remember, an additional second had to be added to atomic clocks at the end of 2006.

If, on the other hand, you believe in Conservation of Momentum, which holds that objects in motion will tend to remain in motion, unless acted on by an outside force, then you will see that windmills don’t derive energy from the earth’s rotation, although the moon does, which is why we had to add an additional second in 2006.

Now that's a new and very creative anti-wind energy argument. Never heard that one before and I've heard them all.

Maybe if we all jump up and down at the same time on Thursdays at 4:00pm we can offset this "risk"?

Oh no! It's Global Stalling! The earth will stop; one side of the world will be frozen and in perpetual darkness; the other a sun-drenched desert!
