- Title
Estimating maximum global land surface wind power extractability and associated climatic consequences.
- Authors

- Abstract
The article presents a study on the feasibility and possible impacts of wind power extraction over land surface. It states that the study was conducted considering factors such as availability of wind power, energetics and wind circulation. It states that extraction of wind power at a maximum level poses climatic impacts similar with the rise in atmospheric CO2. Moreover, it asserts that factors contributing to changes in atmospheric flow also affect wind extraction efficiency.
