Up in the Dakotas they use grid power to heat the oil, but it is unlikely they have adequate heaters in TX.

Once you have a bed of coals you can put two pieces in and put a book across them (elevated). The book will heat through as long as there is flame around it, and eventually burn slowly into ash. Lots of ash. Also you should use a book you don't want anymore. Some paper burns poorly, and some burns very well. If it is "loose" and rough paper it will burn better.

Last year, Texas generated 18 percent of its energy from wind and solar — with wind providing the vast majority of total renewable generation.

Mr. Pollak, sitting here in a dark and cold house in Central Texas with the temp 6 degrees last night; AND, TONIGHT with the temp 11 degrees I do not share your enthusiasm about the importance of broken down old windmills that pollute the landscape in what was once a beautiful West Texas.

Moreover, billions will have to be funded by the taxpayer to clean these obsolescent, inefficient, Model T, wet dreams of the LIBERALs up on top of the tax credits that made the damn things feasible to begin with. At least give credit where credit is due for this financial debacle starting with Google and T Boone Pickens. Boone just wanted to make some more money. Google needed to Feel Good.

Isn’t there something you can write about going on in your home country South Africa?

Can’t be good for the things, either. Likely decrease their working life.
