And what the hell does my lifestyle have to do with whether AGW is real or not? It's a red herring. Is that how you did your science? Ask about things unrelated to the subject? I'm honestly impressed by what you have done. I don't understand why you can not offer one single bit evidence why all the world's climatologists are wrong about AGW. The fact that you were unaware there is a vast consensus among them makes me think you are out of touch with the current state of the science. I suspect intentional ignorance to preserve your ideological stance. Lastly, it's not the degree, it's the mind that matters.
Minnesota's frozen turbines raise new doubts about wind power. February 8, 2010 1:59 PM Tom Slater In Minnesota, the wind is blowing but turbines arenââ¬â¢t turning. The machines, bought used from California and installed last fall, are completely frozen in place. Even on the windiest days, the blades sit at a standstill, producing no power. Why should anyone care? The problem highlights some of the less intuitive challenges associated with wind power ââ¬â long considered to be the most feasible and cost effective source of renewable energy. The likely culprit in Minnesota: frozen hydraulic fluid, unfit for the stateââ¬â¢s brutally cold winters. As the temperature continues to drop, these fluids have started to thicken, turning into jelly. This is a big problem, considering how much the Midwest has spent on trying to become the U.S.ââ¬â¢s wind power corridor. Wind power is already intermittent ââ¬â the wind isnââ¬â¢t blowing at gale speeds all the time. But being knocked out of commission for an entire season? That could be a deal breaker. http://venturebeat.com/2010/02/08/minnesotas-frozen-turbines-raise-new-doubts-about-wind-power/
