@FLFlatLander, I'm not sure what point you're trying to make about glacial retreat or its connection to the creation of the Rockies (other than acknowledging that there have been colder climates in the States' past that we don't fully understand), but either way it sounds like you're skeptical of wind power, which is totally fine. While it's not the most effective form of renewable energy, nor the one with the least environmental impact, wind power is still viable and will only continue to improve as we develop the technology and explore effective locations for it's placement. There'll be places and...

What’s your point? First off, you start out claiming (ridiculously) that the Rockies were formed by glacial movement, which is absolutely wrong. Glacial periods occurred well before the massive increase in greenhouse gasses directly related to post Industrial Age activity. That has no bearing on other causes of climatic change. That’s simply a disjunction fallacy. Anthropocentric climate change is occurring in spite of and in addition to anything else happening, whether volcanic, solar, or cosmic.
