A sad day in the USA, the worst winter storm this year, people fear freezing to death, as Solar and Wind power fail across New England.
If only they had a chunk of Coal.

Literally, yes. Snow and ice on the turbine blades unbalance the turbine, further gusting storm winds buffet the wind turbine. They are 100% shutdown, no power from wind during this emergency. No energy from solar during this emergency.Did the wind terbines freeze stuck?
Makes you wonder why people think they should live there.Just imagine when New England is 100% Green, Clean, Renewable energy, War or Storm, with no electricity they are a liability to our safety and welfare.
Makes you wonder why people think they should live there.
Cause the desert is only for Solar.Makes you wonder why people think they should live there.
Texas is not in New England, moron.WINTER STORM Snow cold did not affect wind turbines in the Big Country - Reporter News
Thanks to the proximity of wind farms, many West Texans avoided most of the rolling blackouts other parts of the state experienced Wednesday as power companies relieved the strain on generating plants.
Greg Wortham of Sweetwater, executive director for Texas Wind Energy Clearinghouse, said the snow and cold did not affect the turbines. By contrast, plants using water or fossil fuel encountered frozen water lines or other problems with the cold.
"The wind farms provided approximately 7 percent of the energy during the blackouts," he said. Since the transmission lines connect directly to many West Texas communities, they received the extra power.
Hmmmmmmmm.....................
Go Fish!OK, asshole, link to an article that states the wind power failed during the storm. I provided a link where the conventional power generation plants failed during a storm, and the wind turbines did not. Now you provide a link that shows where the turbines failed, and the conventional power stations did not.
And you are full of shit, as usual.Literally, yes. Snow and ice on the turbine blades unbalance the turbine, further gusting storm winds buffet the wind turbine. They are 100% shutdown, no power from wind during this emergency. No energy from solar during this emergency.Did the wind terbines freeze stuck?
Wind turbines need perfect wind, not to strong, not to light, the wind must be just right.
In other words, you pulled that out of your ass.Go Fish!OK, asshole, link to an article that states the wind power failed during the storm. I provided a link where the conventional power generation plants failed during a storm, and the wind turbines did not. Now you provide a link that shows where the turbines failed, and the conventional power stations did not.
England is not the same as New England. The winter storm is in the USA!The UK has broken a series of wind records over the past 12 months, and last week new government figures confirmed that 2013 had seen around 15 percent of electricity in the country come from renewables—7.9 percent of which was provided by onshore and offshore wind turbines.
The plentiful supply of wind energy is also helping to pick up the slack this week as French energy companies EDF was forced to shut down four nuclear reactors in the UK.
You have yet to post anything from New England, which had to shutdown a 100% of all Wind Turbines.You said that the wind conditions had to be perfect for the turbines to generate. Yet there was a major storm, and the turbines were putting out major power. Seems you are still full of shit.
