Man, I dunno... given the leverage those huge props have on the hub, I find it rather incredible they would freeze up at all.

See, if they had been burning coal they would all be warm....

I think the problem is icing on the blades. They lose ability to work just like icing on an airplanes wings won't let them provide lift.

If the article is correct and 23% of TX's capacity is in fact from wind, that's what's called an epic cluster****. Somebody should be hung in the town square...

Ah, good point. I didn't even think of that.

Thanks.

That's like asking how long as Flint been without clean water. Hint: It's ongoing and no one cares. Same thing will happen here even if that is true.

I was told that those turbines (and the ones here in OK) are supplying California with electricity. Do those turbines supply us or the People's Republic?

But if all this just saves ...one liberals tear drop...is'nt it worth it....


...just like the "gun safety laws"...it's for the kids .....it's .for the kids, clean air.


You guys must be for toxic waste and ruining the land... anyone wanting to change this would be a environmental "terrorist" and might be environment racism .....I'm sure somehow, someway...someplace...
