Gas Prices Going Through The Roof

They don't run when the wind doesn't blow dufus!!!

Did the wind stop blowing in Texas? The windmills stopped because they froze.

You only know what someone told you !

Do you have first hand experience with the windmills in Texas?

More than you do or even pretend to !

So you only know what someone told you.

if every single windmill in Texas quit working at the same time it would decrease the total power supply to the state by about 25% at the very worst......but they all didn't.

What now?

[mcarter815]

Talk to the person that brought up windmills in this thread.

[Barbecueboy]

I would rather talk to the know it all that was wrong about them if that's ok with you......

So again, what you got now?

[mcarter815]

For starters, no power grid has the capacity to handle a 25% drop in supply. When there is a higher than normal electricity use with every home running electric heaters when the temp drops, that makes it even worse. On top of that, Texas is dumb enough to isolate themselves from the rest of the country's powergrid.

It sometimes snows in Texas. Significant freezes like this should have been factored into their planning. Other states don't shut down when the temp gets below zero.

[Barbecueboy]

Other states shut down when their leaders iq hits zero.......a bunch of recent examples of that.


I live in a state that shuts down with a few inches of snow, your drivel quotient is maxed out for today sport.

And it wasn't 25 percent of powers loss....they all didn't quit,the ones that did accounted for about a third of the 25% total wind capacity.

So again, what now?

[Barbecueboy]

I'll wait while you go look.......you'll find I'm correct.

Now what?

[Barbecueboy]

Run Forrest , Run...........

So again, what now?

That's a significant cut in supply, especially since the demand shot up.

Like the significant amount of drivel that spews from your mouth on a daily basis ?
