This was from National Review Online ~ hardly a Democrat gossip rag:

"As I wrote in these pages earlier this month, Texas has 10,135 megawatts of installed wind-generation capacity, which is nearly three times as much as any other state. And yet, on Wednesday, all of the state’s wind turbines mustered just 880 megawatts of power when electricity was needed the most. Put another way, even though wind turbines account for about 10 percent of Texas’s 103,000 megawatts of summer electricity-generation capacity, wind energy was able to provide just 1.3 percent of the juice the state needed on Wednesday afternoon to keep the lights on and the air conditioners humming.""

(Cited above ~)

So, argue that RowdyFFC ~ tell us how 889 megawatts is the same as 10,135 megawatts.

Bet you just love lying there in the dirt looking up at the windmills.

You can do that in Illinois if you want.

Did you know ERCLOT (sp?) didn't want to connect to the windmills? Wasn't worth it.

muawiyah...what do you not understand about diversifying and aggregating energy sources that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES HAVE TALKED ABOUT. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with wind turbines in Texas, I don’t care which one of your rags you get off of.

Nobody EVER said it was the be all and end all of energy sources.

Do you have a freaking clue how much energy is being sucked out of Texas right now and has been since June 10th when the three digit temperatures rose and continued now for going on four months??? Get a freaking clue!
