Re: One problem with wind turbines

"Now, what happens on an icy day? Do these wind turbines have deicing systems? Ice accummulations on the blades will reduce their efficiency drastically and may make them off balanced. What happens to all of the industrial and home energy customers electricity needs when the wind is calm?"
************************************************

Oh you mean what happens here in NE in the winter when the blades ice up when we need electricity for heat and light mid-winter? Or in NE in the calm humid summer days without a breath of wind when we need electricity for AC?

No problem, the ultra-greenies love the idea of public suffering, by you and I.
