Forty plus percent of Texas’ electric portfolio is dependent on wind. It sucks to be stupid.

It did put up a good fight - it kept spinning for a bit even after it was engulfed in flames.

Don Quixote would be impressed.

“800 gallons of oil in the gearbox and around 1,300 gallons of mineral oil in the ground-level transformer, “

The fire wouldn’t have happened if they had used electricity in the gearbox instead of oil. Just more proof we’ve got to move faster to get rid of fossil fuels.

I see a lot of wasted lightning electricity there.

We need to add lightning catchers as a source of electricity.

Solar and wind are getting passé. Everyone has them.
