New Brunswick discovers wind farms can freeze in the winter:
Not only do the windmills become useless any time there’s insufficient wind, they apparently can also run into trouble when it gets cold out (which it has been known to do in parts of Canada).
New Brunswick learned this lesson when a $200-million energy project in the province froze solid.
An amusing quote: “We can’t control the weather.”
It’s always amazed me how all levels of government like to spend fortunes on studies for just about anything; yet, when it comes to alternative energy, it seems all you have to do is slap a “green” label on some half-baked product or idea and it’s full steam ahead. I mean, wouldn’t it have been a good idea to research the viability of these inefficient bird-shredding monstrosities?
