Offshore wind farms could tame hurricanes before they reach land, Stanford-led study says Wind farm could reduce peak hurricane wind speeds by up to 92 mph and decrease storm surge by up to 79 percent
Computer simulations by Stanford Professor Mark Z. Jacobson have shown that offshore wind farms with thousands of wind turbines could have sapped the power of three real-life hurricanes, significantly decreasing their winds and accompanying storm surge, and possibly preventing billions of dollars in damages.-link
It seems that wind farms beside looking cool and generating power in a green manner can help save live and money from natural disasters. Those opposed to them are going to have to argue why they're in favor of lost lives and money just for cosmetic appearances.
