Could unusual severe weather be the result of wind power generation?

In 2022, 434 billion kWh were generated by wind turbines in the United States alone. This is just a small percentage of the energy in all of the winds that move across the country, but it is a significant amount. As the number of power generating wind turbines increases, more and more energy is taken from the winds. 

The effect of wind turbines on global weather patterns is said to be minimal, but apparently no studies have been done to determine if severe weather in unusual places could be the result of changes in global wind patterns caused by wind turbines. Lacking a comprehensive study, it may help to think about this by using a simple example. If a fan is turned on and pointed at some smoke, the smoke will move. Turning the fan to a lower speed will not push the smoke as far. In the same way, slowing a wind with turbines alters wind patterns and allows other winds into the area downwind of the turbines. For every action there is a reaction. Wind patterns do change to some degree when wind speed is decreased. 

Some studies on the local effects of wind turbines have been conducted. These studies found that the area downwind of turbines is warmer that it would be without the turbines. This effect is considered to have no significant effect on weather patterns. That seems logical for one turbine just as one car burning gasoline has almost no effect on air quality. The problem is that hundreds of cars do have an effect. The same may be true for hundreds of turbines. In fact, it seems quite logical to postulate that the warming effect, plus the loss of wind speed and energy due to the turbines, does have an effect on global wind patterns. 

Is the wind a renewable resource? We say it is, but is it? Could we put up so many wind turbines that global winds dramatically diminish? Could the Arctic and the Antarctic get colder and the equator get hotter? Could the oceans warm dangerously with less wind? If the the wind does not move enough hot and cold air around the globe, living things on our planet could be in serious trouble. Is this beginning to happen now? 

It seems entirely possible, even likely, that some severe weather changes may be due to one of the renewable energy sources intended to reduce “climate change” and severe weather.
