logical conclusion?
 
Is the end of the wind itself the the logical conclusion of all this harnessing of wind-power?

If you extract the energy from the air using wind turbines the wind will subside and the turbines will slow down, in line with the diminishing amount of energy stored in the atmosphere.

It's like perpetual motion, but in reverse.......

Somehow I don't think a few turbines is going to bring the jetstreams to a standstill.

Until you start accepting both the immutable laws of physics and economics, you'll never get anywhere with these "green" power schemes. If you can't generate electricity cheaper than the guys burning coal, then you got NOTHING.

Cost is king.
