Denmark: 1,000 Megawatts Of Offshore Wind, And No ...
I'd have thought amounts of energy involved are so vanishingly small compared to atmospheric wind in general that it makes no difference.

A while ago we thought the same thing about greenhouse gas emissions or human activity raising global atmospheric temperatures.
I like wind power, but that's not a very strong argument without numbers.

No you're right (and nice comparison) - I just wanted to trigger conversation because someone had downvoted the question, which I thought was pretty unfair. I just didn't/don't have time to do any actual research to get hard numbers.
