Just what would you guys be saying if Teddy was one of them-there Lib-R-als....From the Demo-crap party? You'd be flipping the hell out- and you know it!

But ANYTHING a TRUMP!!! support does is A-OK with you.....ANY-Freaking-Thing!



Apparently, you either don't or haven't read any of my posts. While I do support and agree with most (but, not all) of DJT's policies and that he did a good job, I am not and have never been a Trumper.

BTW, took a friend and my daughter with her family out to dinner tonight. On the way there, we stopped for fuel. There were already 7 or 8 Alabama Electric bucket trucks there getting fuel and while we were there, another 7 or 8 rolled in. As we were leaving I asked if they were headed to TX. They said yes. I don't know for sure but, I didn't think AL and Texas were cooperative in the Grid system so, I assume AL is reaching out to help, not sure if the "independent" Texans asked for it or not.

Skydda vindkraftverk på vintern

So, maybe you're Swedish-language challenged, even in terms of reading printed or print-like text?

Snowflake. Could it simply be because the dog is white and fluffy?

Yeah, sure. Carbon fiber automatically heats, .

Would you connect your grid to Texas if you didn't have to?



Yes. Another choice would be Kalifornia which has rolling blackouts year long.

It's like a rear-window defroster that's embedded in the carbon fiber jacket for the wind turbine blades. The "automatic" is that the deicing circuits are controlled by sensors that detect the conditions when the electrically generated heat is needed. I think it's kind of new. Something the Swedes are experimenting with.

But there are more basic winterization packages to provide heat (when necessary) to the internal workings of wind turbines. It would be interesting to discover whether the Texas wind turbines had any of that.

I'm not "smug" about what's happened in Texas.

I'm up against a hard deadline here so I will try to leave it at that.

It was a "Lights Out" performance for Winter Storm "Uri"
