Wind turbines can dempe orkanar - The Nation

the same – preliminary unpublished – study shows that windmills could have reduced the disastrous stormfloda that affected New Orleans in 2005, with 70 percent.

It is mijøteknikkprofessor Mark Z. Jacobson of Stanford University who together with a group of colleagues have calculated their way to the effects of Hurricane Katrina and Sandy if they had been forced to negotiate 70,000 wind turbines 100 km out to sea before they reached land. The simulations show that such a wall of wind power plants had tappa extreme weather for much of the energy – while also generated huge amounts of electricity, type TU.

researchers found similar effects of Hurricane Sandy, who in 2012 did great damage all over the Caribbean and north along the U.S. Atlantic coast all the way north to Canada.

Jacobson has previously published several wind studies, among other things, he showed in 2012 how offshore wind power could cover one third of the U.S. energy needs. © NPK
