CLIMATE MADNESS: Wind turbines FREEZING in the cold
Maybe they would work better if we had more global warming?

Here is something you will not hear about on the mainstream media.
Lately, Sweden has seen record cold temperatures. We just had the COLDEST temperatures of the century. In a town outside Arjeplog, it was a chilling -48,8C (almost -56 Fahrenheit).
It was too cold for the new "green" electric busses in Sweden. In one city, they had to cancel most of the bus routes because they couldn't handle the cold weather.
But what about the wind turbines that are supposed to provide renewable energy to these electric busses?
Turns out that they don't like the cold weather very much either...
It's now being reported that ice on the wind turbine blades has caused a massive loss in electricity production during the cold weather.
During several days, they lost more than 1 000 MW of power because of ice on the blades. Essentially the wind turbines froze.
On the 5th of January, seven wind power parks reported a loss of 1 110 MW out of their total production capacity of 2 316 MW.
In other words, the wind turbines froze and lost almost 50% of their capacity in the cold weather. Perhaps if we had some global warming and the temperatures were a little warmer they would work better.
That is a lot.

At least those designing the wind turbines took the freezing temperatures in the consideration and placed in advance could be used as part of a system to warm the turbine so they could still operate. Of course, that results in the negative gain energy wise plus environmentally damaging according to the left is an anarchist, but who cares about that the little windmills are still going at least I think they are. They probably been shut down by now.
