Quoting: BRIEF We live and hike near some wind turbines recently installed including in state land near trails A few weeks ago we went for a snow hike to test out our new Arctic rated MUCK Boots The terrible NOISE coming from the wind turbine demonstrated this danger to the bearings A LOUD SQUEALING wind turbine was turning with frozen ice on it from freezing rain we had the day before Sunday when we drive by not one was turning ... unusual SOMEONE SHUT THEM OFF I’m going to look again soon and see if they turned them back on Without freezing rain they can turn night and day up on a Wind rated 4 area "What are you helping with all this helping?"

Quoting: BRIEF Wrong. They are producing more power than expected. Read the article. “ While some early reports indicated that frozen wind turbines were causing significant shortfalls, 30GW is roughly equal to the entire state's wind capacity if every turbine is producing all the power it's rated for. Since wind in Texas generally tends to produce less during winter, there's no way that the grid operators would have planned for getting 30GW from wind generation; in fact, a chart at ERCOT indicates that wind is producing significantly more than forecast.” Last Edited by Yakapo on 02/17/2021 06:59 AM |
