Wind power…is it good?

       Wind turbines are a new way to generate clean power. The turbines use big windmills to charge themselves and store energy in a huge battery. Though it is thought to be clean, a recent study has stopped that idea in its tracks. A recent study includes satellite data that has been analyzing the land around wind farms in Texas. The studies show that ground temperature rose 0.72 degrees Celsius per decade. I think this may become a huge problem over time.
       One solution I can think of is to take the wind farms down. Probably the most simple solution, it would work the best. Hopefully, the temperature would go back.
       Another solution is we should try to see if other energy generation systems, like solar and water, are safer. If not we need to discover a new way or stick with oil.
       The last solution is to study the wind farms further so we know how the angles and height change different wind and heat patterns. Knowing this information, we can strategize their location to fix global warming or make an area hotter if it is too cold.
        I think if we study more we can come up with a really good solution.
