It never occurred to them that Minnesota would be cold in the winter?

Wasn’t it last winter that they couldn’t run the school buses because the ethanol-mix fuel turned gelatinous in the cold?

I hadn’t heard that about the school buses, but here’s more info from John Stossel.

“They’ll have to use either electricity or natural gas at each turbine to keep the mechanism lubricated.

That will drastically reduce the net energy gain from each turbine, depending on how much heating the turbine fluid needs to stop congealing in the winter.

Since cold weather here lasts anywhere from 4-6 months, that makes it mighty inefficient as an energy resource.”

And does Minnesota have those LED stop lights that “do not” melt ice that accumulates on them...thereby causing accidents?

Bwahahahahahaha. Progressives win again, and schleps LOOSE!

It is the bio-diesel that gels up.
The ethanol contaminated gas just collects water and corrodes your fuel system, especially small or carbureted engines.
