Oh and btw, let's not forget that when the power plant fails and can't produce power ever again, and while they leave the blades spinning indefinitely until it's eventually abandoned (until ultimately the tax payer has to pay to dismantle it) the windmill will continue to kill birds indefinitely!
Yeah, that was the big story all day. Peak demand! We've got peak demand here people because running the central fan unit of course burns as much power as running the central fan and refrigeration compressor unit in the summer! I don't believe it. The whole state is powered off propane or natural gas for heat. Sending people home for covid has been a big power saver as well, and today just about the whole state is closed with icy roads. They want us to believe today is peak demand?
Don't think for a second that just because the blades are spinning that it's actually producing power. We learned that in California. They leave it spinning intentionally even if it will never produce power again. There's a lot of that going on in the older wind power fields.
Cold weather? Abbott was just interviewed live on local news. He blamed the problem on just "private" energy producers, not private wind energy producers or heavily regulated private energy producers in a heavily government manipulated market place. You know, in a Jedi mind trick moment. In that way fooling the simple minded liberals into believing that the state and federal governments had nothing to do with it.

Went green? Don't you mean went cold? That's what we're hearing here today. Not that the grid has lost power because 50% of wind power meeting 23% of the grid's capacity needs has gone down. The big story of the day is that we need to reduce our demand. Be a good community comrade. You know, open our blinds to let in the little bit of sun hitting us in 20 deg weather!
That's one of the big lies being told today. There's nothing rolling about it. Galveston is almost entirely out of power. More than 1.1 million people in Houston are without power. That's not a rolling outage. Power is out, and not a peep out of anyone about when it's going to come back on.
They're reporting now that they're having to choose which communities to shut off power from. They say they're doing that based upon technical criteria, but when you have to choose these days, would anyone be surprised if politics aren't also involved.
Yeah, you know it didn't occur to the liberal idiots that designed these things that it gets cold in the winter. Read an article today that this isn't a new story about wind power. It's common. I didn't know that. The solution is to add on "cold weather kits" to heat the blades and other critical components. Too bad they didn't think of that to begin with.
Galveston, 90-95% without power. At least 1.1 Million without power in the Houston area. Texas has 50% of it's wind power down. Texas leads the nation by being dependent on wind for 23% of it's power production. I don't want to trigger my liberal relatives with the truth while they sit shivering in their dark apartments.
I'm no expert. I read an article explaining the nonsense of the big California wind farms. The cost model doesn't include some of the expensive maintenance costs. Rather than lose big money repairing them, they abandon them. Not dismantle and dispose of them, they can't afford that either. They abandon them leaving the blades spinning and killing birds so no one will know how many ugly windmills in the field are never going to work again.
