NASA has been studying a region of Texas where four of the world’s largest wind farms are located. According to the NASA research, this area has had an increase in land surface temperature over the last nine years that researchers are connecting to local effects of the turbines. These for wind farms are located in West-Central Texas.
According to the NASA research, the wind farms have caused an increase in the surface temperature of .72°C per decade during the study period. Only the surface temperature in the area of the wind farms have increased while the temperature in areas adjacent to the wind farms has not changed. The cause of the surface temperature increase is most likely because of the turbulence caused by turbine wakes says NASA.
