My favorite line is “We can’t control the weather”, yet the purpose of all these wind farms is supposedly to control the entire climate. Which seems to me a little harder to do.

They probably don’t even comprehend the irony of the statement.

[Cicero]

Wind turbines. The power source that is never there when you need it most.

[upsdriver]

Perhaps they should install gas heaters on the windmills to thaw them out. heh heh

[tubebender]

Nothing wrong that more money won’t solve like putting heating elements in the blades and buying electricity from Mexico to power them...

[goldi]

“For us, cold and dry weather is good and that’s what’s typical in the region. Cold and wet weather can be a problem without any warmer days to prompt thawing, which has been the case this year. This weather pattern has been particularly challenging.”

Blah, blah, blah, blah. Start drilling in the Gulf again, please, because wind power is a crock.

[Cicero]

One tidbit from the article:

“Vitek says workers are trying to find a way to prevent ice buildup from occurring again in the future. The shutdown has not had any effect on employment at the site, which provides 12 permanent jobs.”

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[Rocky]

Al Gore will be saying soon that this was caused by global warming.

“We can’t control the weather.”

But we want to spend trillions of dollars trying.

[oyez]

GDF SUEZ Energy, the company that owns and operates the site, is working to return the windmills to working order, a spokeswoman says.

I got a better idea. Return them to Suez.

[Panzerlied]

With global warming, won’t these concerns become moot?

[piytar]

So wind power doesn’t work exactly when people are snowed or iced in and need power to keep from freezing to death?

Yup.

Liberals - the ones pushing this garbage - are insane.

[SeeSharp]

“We can’t control the weather,” Julie Vitek said in an interview from company headquarters in Houston, Texas.

[Islander7]

Wind Power FAIL ( Turbines all Froze Up!....too Cold and Wet)

No one could have possibly seen this coming. Y'all give 'em a break. Global warming is due to return in the next couple of months and everything will be fine.

[equaviator]

Wind power, as in gigantic wind-up torsion spring-powered rotors, might be a better idea than those things. Imagine how many workers you'd have keeping them all wound up 24/7/365!

[Uri’el-2012]

Green Energy is like Marxism.

It works in theory; never in the real world.

[mo]

I suppose this is, to these greenies...”unexpected”?

[listenhillary]

Maybe they should build some nuclear plants to keep them warm.

[BBell]

Paint it black.

[BerryDingle]

Drill here, drill now.
