On Bidens watch, he wasn't prepared! He let people freeze to death

Obviously, having wind-farms degraded due to sub-zero temperatures is a concern. The first solution that occurs to me is that turbines are self-heating when necessary.
Is this already included at the design stage ?

They catch fire a lot, is that what you mean?

The concept is clearly new to you, Vera. If you were the ' scientist ' that you claim to be you'd have already suggested a turbine self-heating system to the designers.
Nevermind, you'll find a contrary cut-and-paste someplace.

Yes, there have always been outages. But never because the power source was frozen or covered with snow.

Why are you and others ignoring the factual findings? Is proliferating bull-shit that enticing? But you probably also believe that Trump will be inaugurated on March 6th. smfh

Wind Power Isn’t To Blame For Texas’ Electricity Crisis

As millions of Texans grapple with blackouts amid a winter storm, some observers have blamed frozen wind turbines for the power crisis, but state energy officials say Texas’ wind farms are a relatively small part of the overall problem.

In reality, wind turbine outages have been responsible for less than 13% of Texas’ total power shortages, the nonprofit electric grid overseer Energy Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) told Bloomberg and local news outlets on Tuesday.

My solar is operating my power just fine, thank you very much. I'll be biking
to work in a few so burning gas at 50 mpg in my prius won't be necessary.

Smugly yours, Micawber

It's not the turbines you dopey twat, it's the rotors that get iced up and in some cases they break from the weight of the ice. How much do you imagine it would cost to fit de-icing equipment to them?

Alaska has hundreds, if not thousands of wind turbines and they don't freeze.

Apparently, neither can fossil fuels!!!

All of them can work on cold, freezing, or cloudy days, they just need to be weatherized to do so.

And it would probably also help to be on the same national grids as everyone else instead of their own grids that the private fossil fuel companies can't deliver on.




Right, so do they not also use metal in fossil fuel plants?

Twatanna is full of shit; metal freezes when it's liquid temperate lowers to it's solid temperature. Nothing to do with condensate.
