Get those windmills going and shovel the snow off the solar panels.

Oh, they are doing their best! (sort of)

On some of the recent abominable mornings having both extreme cold and blowing snow travel advisories, what do I see out there adding to the fun on the highway? Semis hauling sections on windmill pylons. Hopefully nobody is actually out there bolting together windmills in 25 MPH winds at -7 Fahrenheit, but if they are, then they have "glands" of (really cold) steel.

In general, this has been an unpleasant winter by most standards, being a combination of persistent cold, frequent precip - in varying forms - and enough wind to give sharp teeth to the mix. SAD has shown up early, and the natives are grumbling apace.

Intelligent, hard working men had a vision to make energy cheap and plentiful, and our nation has spectacularly benefited from this vision. Unfortunately, mean spirited egotistical fanatical vengeful creeps now run the country and we all suffer from high energy prices, and some are literally suffering because of the weather. It shouldn’t be like this.
