"heating the universe".  :)  Perhaps, but the ever increasing removal of
energy from the planet's atmosphere by wind power will lower its
temperature.  The corresponding decrease in the earth's enthalpy will
result in a new ice age.  The Mississippi River will freeze over all the
way down to Natchez and the Saints will win another Superbowl!
