I am unschooled in this, but since windmills extract energy from
wind, they would actually DECREASE wind locally. Might be pretty
hard to measure though.

believe that mountain lions go downwind to stalk their prey.
Is there any chance that the increased wind caused by the
windmills has led to an influx of mountain lions because their
prey is easier to stalk? Somebody should look into this.
Thats completely bogus. Windmills don't
attract cats. The wind from the windmills blows away the
smell of predators which causes the mice and birds to come
out. Its the mice and birds that attract the cats.
Well I hear that
windmills attract cats.
