At 33,000-feet, you can just make out a wind turbine from an airliner.
The top of the troposphere ( where the 'climate' is ) goes to 42,000-feet, from which the turbines would be so microscopic as not to exist.
The 'blockage ratio' of the turbines, compared to local wind stream would be meaningless.
Compared to the troposphere it would be below meaningless.
Nice tripe for a lobbyist from the fossil-fuel industry though.
