You know how you unfreeze frozen windmills?
By sending up a helicopter that shoots out chemicals onto the blades.
You need fuel for the helicopter.
Keep that in mind when thinking how “green” windmills are.

Still MUCH greener than the coal power plants(*) that some people insist on using… And I’m pretty sure even nuclear power is more “green” than coal power plants. Seriously, is this inbred c*nt even trying to make sense anymore!?
(*)Didn’t Trump reopen several closed ones in his early POTUS days? I vaguely remember reading something like that.
Scotland thinks they're green.
Donald Fart didn't like them near his greens: as in golf.
Despite the snow we've had in Britain of late, they're still winning in the green stakes: unlike your orange lawsuit addict that tried it on with the legal system north of the Border.
You support a loser , Buboe. Third time's the charm, Scotland.
Wind turbines and windmills are two different things you dunce! And America's miserly approach to spending public money on the public rather than further enriching the private sector which gets some damned "liberal" allowances means they will absolutely refuse to take the cold weather precautions of a more sensible country into account particularly in a region where that temperature is unheard of. And denies climate change.
Pointing to your own incompetence isn't evidence of an inherent flaw in what others have implemented reliably, it's evidence that you're so incompetent and desperate to fail that the metaphorical equivalent of colouring by numbers is beyond you.
Edit: Oh and BTW gas lines which represent a far greater share of Texas' power grid - HALF OF IT - failed at the same time for the exact same reason. And they're a touch trickier to get working again.
So? You don’t need to unfreeze them all the time. Burning oil during a freak cold snap is not the same thing as burning it all day every day…
Are you even trying? I’ve heard better anti-windmill takes from conspiracy theorists complaining about weather control. At least the thing they were complaining about is actually bad enough to warrant tearing down windmills.
I literally facepalmed when I read this latest bit excreted by Glock Spice. Is she trying to prove me correct by blurting out some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever read?
Hopefully a frozen blade will fall off & flatten her like a bug on my windshield. That’s a tweet I’d gleefully read.
You know how you unfreeze frozen mind wills?
By funding a helicopter that boots chemical louts onto the shades.
You unpeel seed for the helicopter.
Keep what in grinding then think how ree “mean” mind wills.

Texas skimped on precautions because their politicians wanted to make a quick buck. This sort of thing has happened before; the last time it happened, the state actually commissioned a report to come up with solutions to prevent it from happening again. Solution #1: Everything should be winterized. The Republican Texas government took that suggestion and wiped their ass with it. Unfortunately, the people in Texas are paying for it, yet again.
And as you can see, they’ve also decided that this is the perfect time to take shots at renewable energy, even though their grid is about 60% natural gas and it’s totally failed (frozen pipes that won’t allow natural gas to move). And thanks to the cold, they had to turn off the nuclear plants, and frozen coal is worthless as well. In fact, wind and solar are doing BETTER than some of the other options…

I knew about the gas lines but nuclear power, too? God damn if this doesn't get people to take climate change or environmental regulations or even just government mandated minimum standards for the construction and upkeep of utilites like water and power a little more seriously then nothing will. They might as well chug the toxic runoff fracking operations produce and either hope for some miraculous mutation to allow them to survive the bed they made or lie down and drop dead in it before that becomes one of the cleaner examples of the only available water sources.
This was in my Unearthed newsletter today…
“ As many have noted, it’s strange to blame a policy that has not been implemented for the crisis unfolding in Texas. It’s stranger still when you learn that Texas runs mainly on fossil fuels. The New York Times sets out that the failure of gas pipelines in freezing temperatures appears to have been the main cause for millions losing power. Michael Webber, an energy resources professor at the University of Texas at Austin, told Texas Tribune: “Gas is failing in the most spectacular fashion right now.”
Oh yeah, and about that frozen wind turbine: that clip was actually filmed in Sweden in 2014 .” (my bold)
