we get 23% of energy from wind turbines. The governor just won some award for green energy. I’d like to give him an award.

Wow, 23% is a lot. Considering it takes a ton of wind turbines to make as many megawatts as a natural gas plant.

Just talked to Hubby about it, his company handles running several plants in Texas. Apparently the natural gas supply lines froze, they weren’t prepared for such inclement weather, as the insulation was adequate for what was typical. So, no fuel, no electricity.
