From a simple engineering perspective, the more wind turbines are placed around the globe, the more energy can be extracted, with no particular effect on the overall energy of the atmospheric flow.
FORBES: Researchers Warn Of Climatic Consequences To Harvesting Wind Energy On Mass Scale
To cope with the energy industry's effect on the trade balance, the government has restricted imports of countless other products, and made it harder for citizens to swap pesos for dollars.
They mostly remain convinced that the problem is only temporary, that the economic reports are coming in worse than their forecasts only because they under-estimated the effect the surge in energy and commodity prices would have on consumer spending, and the effect the Japanese earthquake would have on auto and technology production.
Both had a tremendous effect on the energy economy, underscoring the need for fuel diversity.
There was no domino effect taking down energy traders generally, no meltdown of an industry.
Under these conditions, climate control combined with higher-speed driving produces increased energy consumption, hence the effect on range.

The effect of an energy saving subsidy in China is also expected to stimulate demand for LED TV products.
Emotions have a contagion effect and your energy levels do as well.
Attempts to encourage renewable energy have had so little effect that its contribution to Britain's electricity supply increased from 1% in 1995 to only 1.3% in 2005.
ECONOMIST: Lessons from Britain about how to cut carbon, and how not to
Members of the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee will have to decide whether the dominant effect of the energy price rise is to reduce demand from the economy, so that the long term prospects for inflation returning to target are improved, or to dangerously increase underlying inflationary pressures.
As an economist I am quite sure that simply raising the New Haven price would have some effect in changing my energy use.
The corn-ethanol subsidies that exist today were part of the 2005 Energy Bill, legislation that took effect at a time when I had no contacts with Washington.
It is estimated that efficient white light LEDs, if successfully developed and widely implemented, could have a massive effect on reducing global energy consumption and C02 emissions.
Mirant, which owns power plants throughout the world and sells electricity to utilities and big corporate consumers, is suffering the Enron effect because of its energy trading and from temporarily depressed power prices.
The effect would be dire for energy prices, U.S. allies and the world economy.
Markets in telecoms and, to a lesser extent, energy have been opened up to good effect.
An attack on Iran could torpedo the Middle East and the global economy, given the effect it would have on energy prices.
You are now driving(in effect) on free solar energy that you created by removing the need to heat water and using the natural gas to drive your car instead.
FORBES: Gassing Up: Why America's Future Job Growth Lies In Traditional Energy Industries
Temporary factors, including the damping effect of higher food and energy prices on consumer purchasing power and spending as well as supply chain disruptions associated with the tragic events in Japan, appear to account for only some of the recent weakness in economic activity.
This will have a ripple effect throughout the whole economy because energy production is basic to the manufacture and distrribution of all products.
But perhaps the biggest surprise of all has been the effect the high-octane, energy-drenched version of the game has had on its elder statesmen.
Yet in order to have any significant effect on demand for low carbon energy technologies, the price of carbon would need to be higher than any political economy has been willing to bear.
The U.S. federal government should implement policies that create market incentives to develop and deploy new energy technologies, including policies that have the effect of creating a substantial price on carbon emissions, and sector-specific policies to overcome other market failures.
FORBES: Harvard Study Calls for Radical Increase in U.S. Energy Innovation Spending
The Chinese, who developed the technique, say that it has an effect on the body's natural energy streams.
Rather than the expensive process of creating semiconductors to capture this energy, the potential materials needed to obtain this effect are much cheaper.
Who said the butterfly effect couldn't apply to renewable energy?
ENGADGET: Study says wind turbines raise surrounding area temperature, but only at night
So all of these things will have a cumulative effect to reduce the portion of our energy consumption that comes from foreign sources, and by doing that, reduce the impact of fluctuations in the global oil market on average Americans.
Many students of climate change argue that, although the artificial release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide works to raise the global temperature, particulate pollution should, by promoting cloud cover and thus reflecting solar energy back into space, have a compensating cooling effect.
But for now, the spill's main political effect has been to pollute the debate about energy.
