Having an argument on Facebook (again). A woman named Sheryl Zettner says:

Why are we (in the US) the world's largest oil consumer still? We need to get off fossil fuels.

Daniel L. Wells says:

Country's in Europe run on wind mills they have no trouble in winter and they get colder there.

Stephen Fox retorts:

There's a lot of maintenance on those. Have you seen the scrap yards full of fiberglass propellers that they don't know what to do with?And China with the most windpower capacity is building hundreds of coal fired power plants this year.

Daniel Wells replies in the usual leftie condescending fashion:

You sending laughing emojis shows how little brain you have not smart at all.If you live in Texas that says it all. A state with a very bad power grid.

Stephen Fox replies:

3%...3%. Of all the windwills and solar we have, make up all our energy here in the United States. Shows your lack of intelligence. Let me guess.. Your from California?

I chime in:

Daniel L. Wells "Get by fine on renewables?" In case you missed it they had to build a pipeline from Russia to get natural gas because those "fine" renewables aren't worth a crap. And they pay through the nose for energy in Europe. https://dailycaller.com/2016/05/01/these-maps-show-just-how-much-more-europeans-pay-for-electricity-than-americans/ BTW Texas gets one fifth of it's energy from "renewables" https://www.eia.gov/state/analysis.php?sid=TX "Renewable energy fueled more than one-fifth of all utility-scale net generation in Texas in 2020, and the state accounted for one-fifth of the nation's utility-scale electricity generation from nonhydroelectric renewable sources.120 Wind accounts for nearly all of the electricity generated from renewable resources in Texas. The state leads the nation in wind-powered electricity generation, producing almost three-tenths of the U.S. total in 2020.121,122" That is why they had that big power outage last winter. The windmills froze up.
