"Satellite data that was taken over a large wind farm area in Texas over the course of a decade found that the temperature increased by 0.72C (1.37F) as more turbines were built"

People also spent more time texting in the last decade maybe that is the cause...

I was just reading the same article on Gizmodo and was going to post it. Maybe this will mean an increase in gradient difference between eastern WA/OR and the coast? More wind in our future?

No no no. You uneducated rednecks need to get a clue... the air is getting thinner because of climate change. Baseballs are flying further:
