#1 But not nearly as "useless" as rabid green energy cult members.

#2 Given we no longer move sea commerce by sailing ships, should have dawned on these religious fanatics that leaving yourself to the vagaries of mother nature is not a good plan.

#3 So, some peasants will freeze - what's the big deal? Plenty more of, better grade of serfs, eager to come here.

#4 The fan farms around here were working just fine yesterday AM when it was -43F wind chill.

The actual temp was only -19F though, so possibly they do shut down at -22F actual. We've been colder but haven't seen -22F this year during the daylight hours (yet).

P.S. - I don't watch for the fans at night, more concentrated on deer and critter movements while driving.

#5 the takeaway for the green imbeciles isn't that relying on 'green' energy is a bad idea, but that the intensely cold weather is caused by fossil fuels. ergo, we should be using more wind turbines.

#8 In related news, Joe like to sit around the fire place all day long, occasionally adding a log himself.

American reporting is back baby!

Where is Glass Joe anyways? Like 2/3 of the country is getting wholloped, emergency declarations, poor freezing to death, and all we get is a report of him playing video games?

Where's the Big Man? Did reading a story about Fraud Hogg, school union coverups, and democrat government failures put a lid on the week?

Where is our greatest orator since Obama, who was the greatest since Cicero?

Just because the windmill is turning doesn't mean it's generating electricity. The blades and main bearings may still be functional, but the generators and gearing isn't.
