It's happening, y'all, the beginning of the end.....Houston is having rolling blackouts. Thankfully, my little burg hasn't been hit yet.

Turns out, windmills don't work when they're frozen solid. Texas leads the nation in wind energy production, and HALF our windmills are off line right now. I imagine solar isn't doing very well either, with ice and snow all over the solar panels.

Hey, Jeff'79......that green energy dream ain't workin' out too good for us right now. At a time when we need reliable power the most, green energy is letting us down. Imagine how much worse it would be if we had a crapload of electric vehicles sucking electricity right now, like say, the whole US government fleet in Texas running on electricity.
