Now i have always believed that energy cannot be created or destroyed, therefore to generate X amount of energy from a wind turbine X + energy must be taken from the wind (the + being the inefficiency of the turbine). Surely by taking so much energy from the wind we must change the wind patterns and therefore initiate climate change. Perhaps I have got a total misconception of the whole situation, just hope that someone can explain this to me.

I can't see that being much more of a problem than urbanisation, which affects localised temperature change etc, or the amount of high buildings there are in the world.
The weather in Lancashire will still come mainly from the west, and be wet.
